Lyrics:

Filter’s off
It was all a façade
The actor gone
Yeah the one
I called my boyfriend a lot

Now I wake up
Feeling nothing at all
I kept myself busy for years
Bedazzling a solid brick wall

We were not
We were not
We were not
Not what I thought
And as soon as I got that
My brain swept it under the rug

When you’d dive
Off Into the night
You’d come back with stories
So grand they put stars in your eyes

Now I hear that you talk
About me every time
Seems you love showing off with me at parties
But you won’t have me right by your side

We were not
We were not
We were not
Not what they thought
When you came home to me
You would sneak through the door like a dog
Afraid to get caught

Each time you quit
It felt like a fresh start
Yeah you’d smile
Say our future is bright
Until next day it’s not

Oh silly me
I keep forgetting about all the rules you set up
When it’s work don’t say me
When it’s life don’t you use the word us
I kept fucking that up

Guess I was not
I was not
I was not
Not who you thought
Once I stopped giving too much
All your interest it suddenly dropped
Yeah you took from the best that I had
But it wasn’t enough to stop putting me off

Yeah we are
Not a love story
Not a love story anymore
I wonder were we
A love story
A real love story ever before?
Well I’m not so sure at all
At all
I’m not so sure
At all
At all anymore
Oh no
