[Verse 1]
You tell me white lies I wanna hear
Fake people and weary tears
Bottled up wreckage of my mind you kept for yourself
I know you're lying to me at least it's not just someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
I can cope with the pain if you want me to
Got your voice in my head and it's cutting through
You keep telling me no one will love me like you
And all these times I was told I was never good
And I played and I cried, and I do what I could
I remember feeling like I couldn't stand you
[Chorus]
So I'll scream, scream to the top of my head
Drink till I nearly drop dead
But I know, Oh I know
Always fooled to love you again
And I know it's not good
Not good for me but
Oh I know, Oh I know
Always fooled to love you again
[Verse 2]
I know I'm missing how things used to be
Keep thinking you're not the enemy
Holding my head in my hands while I cope with the pain
I know I want you back I know here we go again
[Pre-Chorus]
I can cope with the pain if you want me to
Got your voice in my head and it's cutting through
You keep telling me no one will love me like you
And all these times I was told I was never good
And I played and I cried, and I do what I could
I remember feeling like I couldn't stand you
[Chorus]
So I'll scream, scream to the top of my head
Drink till I nearly drop dead
But I know, Oh I know
Always fooled to love you again
And I know it's not good
Not good for me but
Oh I know, Oh I know
Always fooled to love you again
[Bridge]
I'll never forget the day you told me you loved me
Reminiscing on the bus
Reminds me everyday of how it feels
Forever missing us
[Chorus]
So I'll scream, scream to the top of my head
Drink till I nearly drop dead
But I know, Oh I know
Always fooled to love you again
And I know it's not good
Not good for me but
Oh I know, Oh I know
Always fooled to love you again
Always fooled to love you again
[Outro]
You tell me white lies I wanna hear
