​love became a wasteland

[Verse 1]
Pastor's wife, high and dry
He found someone else he liked
Dad walked out, my mom cried
Almost ended her own life

[Pre-Chorus]
Why do we lie every time about our promises?
It's so hard to deny, it's a crime that everyone commits

[Chorus]
I had this picture in my head
Of everything love should've been
How everybody says that it's so perfect
Now it seems like just a game
With I love you's and empty phrase
No one evеr seems to break the surface
Lovе became a wasteland

[Verse 2]
Thought that we were good friends
'Til I tried to open up to them
Someone comes with nothing left
Someone yells "You should go back again"

[Chorus]
I had this picture in my head
Of everything love should've been
How everybody says that it's so perfect
Now it seems like just a game
With I love you's and empty phrase
No one ever seems to break the surface

[Bridge]
If that's the way the world turns
Watching while the world burns
I'd rather be a flower in the desert
'Cause even when it breaks you
I know it's real and that is true
Sometimes you gotta lose it all to get it, mh

[Outro]
Oh, ohh
Oh, oh
Oh, ohh
Oh, oh
Oh, ohh
Oh, oh
Oh, ohh
Oh, oh
