Tangled Lies

(Verse 1)

I got daddy issues, yeah, I guess it’s clear,

Grew up with a man I was never near,

Told myself I’d be fine, I was just a kid,

But now I’m fightin’ all the demons he hid.

I keep searchin’ for love, but it’s never enough,

You say you’ll save me, but I’m still feelin’ rough,

I keep messin' it up, caught in tangled lies,

I can’t escape the ghosts behind my eyes.

(Pre-Chorus)

You tell me I’m the one, but I don’t feel the same,

I push you away, but I’m callin’ your name,

I think I need you, but it’s hard to admit,

You’re my drug, my addiction, I can't quit.

(Chorus)

So why do I fall into your arms, baby?

Why do I crave the pain and the calm, maybe?

I let you in, even when I know the price,

I’m tangled up in all these lies, I pay the price.

(Verse 2)

I’ve been runnin' away from everything I feel,

Chasin' after highs, thinkin' I’m healed,

But you got me playin' games I can’t deny,

Like a little death, baby, I’m never satisfied.

You love me hard, but it cuts me deep,

I keep fallin' for you, but I can’t keep,

You say you’re sorry, but I don’t believe,

I’m just another part of the mess you weave.

(Pre-Chorus)

You tell me I’m the one, but I don’t feel the same,

I push you away, but I’m callin’ your name,

I think I need you, but it’s hard to admit,

You’re my drug, my addiction, I can't quit.

(Chorus)

So why do I fall into your arms, baby?

Why do I crave the pain and the calm, maybe?

I let you in, even when I know the price,

I’m tangled up in all these lies, I pay the price.

(Bridge)

You say it’s love, but it’s poison I drink,

Like a little death, I don't know what to think,

I keep giving you pieces of me,

But I’m losing the parts I need to breathe.

I should’ve known better, I should’ve walked away,

But your touch keeps pullin' me in, I’ll never break away.

(Chorus)

So why do I fall into your arms, baby?

Why do I crave the pain and the calm, maybe?

I let you in, even when I know the price,

I’m tangled up in all these lies, I pay the price.

(Outro)

Tangled up in lies, tangled up in you,

I keep comin’ back, don’t know what to do,

Maybe I need you, but it’s hard to see,

You’re just another piece of my history.
