Things We Say in Love

These words kaleidoscope inside my head
Distant echo, something I shouldn't have said
We need to talk
Feet getting colder
I wonder if there's something lost
Is there another line we shouldn't have crossed
We need to talk

The things we say in love
Trouble in paradise
Singing our favourite song
Was our favourite alibi
We painted things to make them shine
Now they're faded like the daylight
I needed to run away
But love taught me a lie

Hidden promise
A promise that's lost for words
Is there something
Something I shouldn't have heard
My head was in the clouds
Can we forgive, can we forget?
I can't
Can we heal the dying light
In a wave of doubt

The things we say in love
Trouble in paradise
Singing our favourite song
Was our favourite alibi
We painted things to make them shine
Now they're faded like the daylight
I needed to run away
But love taught me a lie
Love taught me a lie

Screaming something trivial
What the hell, love
You were my favourite place
I think I loved you
But we were just stuck
In a dream, lying on the floor
Walls caving in on me

The things we say in love
There's trouble in paradise
Singing our favourite song
Was our favourite alibi
We painted things to make them shine
Now they're faded like the daylight
I needed to run away
But love taught me a lie
Love taught me a lie
