Lies I Tell Myself
Bridges of Deception: Navigating Life's Lessons
Lyrics
My youth's been wasted
Expressing regret or disappointment about misspent youth.
I got no where to turn
Feeling lost or without options.
So I built a bridge
Attempting to overcome challenges by building a metaphorical bridge.
From all the lessons I burned
Reflecting on lessons learned through hardship.
Not quite
Expressing frustration with the current pursuit of goals.
I'm sick of chasing things
Feeling tired of chasing unfulfilled desires.
I should already have
Regret over not achieving certain things by now.
Once I start blaming things
Suggesting a tendency to blame external factors for shortcomings.
I'll find out what I lack
Recognizing the need to identify personal shortcomings.
Not quite
Reiterating a sense of falling short of expectations.
What helps me sleep at night
Highlighting a coping mechanism for a peaceful sleep.
Are just the lies I tend to like the best
Preferring comforting lies over harsh truths.
Cause if I'm being honest
Acknowledging a desire for self-deception.
I just kinda need something to tell myself
Seeking something positive to believe in for emotional well-being.
And then I'll be alright
Believing that finding a comforting narrative will bring peace.
My baby hates me
Indicating a strained or troubled romantic relationship.
I don't think she wants back
Suggesting doubts about the possibility of reconciliation.
I keep tryna fix things
Attempting to repair a damaged relationship.
but she's thinking it's the end
Perceiving a potential end to the relationship despite efforts.
Not quite
Reiterating a sense of falling short of expectations.
I'm growing upwards
Growing and maturing but still seeking a way out of challenges.
But still searching for an out
Expressing a struggle to find a solution or escape.
I'm still trying to fight it but
Fighting against internal doubts and uncertainties.
I'm losing to the doubt
Experiencing a losing battle against self-doubt.
Not quite
Reiterating a sense of falling short of expectations.
What helps me sleep at night
Highlighting the role of comforting lies in facilitating sleep.
Are just the lies I tend to like the best
Preferring comforting lies over harsh truths.
Cause if I'm being honest
Acknowledging a desire for self-deception.
I just kinda need something to tell myself
Seeking something positive to believe in for emotional well-being.
And then I'll be alright
Believing that finding a comforting narrative will bring peace.
