[Verse 1]
Locked the door, closed the curtains
Losin' sleep, my head is hurtin'
Countin' every tile, every speck that's on the wall
Starin' in the mirror to regret what I've become

[Verse 2]
Momma, wipe your tears, I'm prepared to be a man
Fight for something more, I don't need a gun in hand
Daddy's gone, I know, he was all we had
Now it's time for me to prove that I am not so bad

[Chorus]
A thousand lies
That start after goodbye
Here I am
Burned myself once again
I lost you and that hurt me
I'm never whеre I think I'll be
Tell mysеlf, one more lie
After I wish you goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
On my own

[Verse 3]
And I'm still learnin' what it means
This terrifying growin' up thing
To swear an oath, a mistake I made
To open up and just want me to be everything
I always thought I'd be
[Verse 4]
Am I strong enough?
Or am I too far gone?
Free your empty soul
Am I just a beating heart?

[Chorus]
A thousand lies
That start after goodbye
Here I am
Burned myself once again
I lost you and that hurt me
I'm never where I think I'll be
Tell myself, one more lie
After I wish you goodbye
