False Hope Lyrics

The funny thing about false hope is that it's the same as true disappointment

At least if you just squint a little bit

I know I'm glass half empty these days

But it can't just be me who seems to see within the thick of it

We can build up a lie, a tall grand tale

Enravel ourselves and refuse to lift the veil

And then one day

It's all ripped away

Or we can be lead along like a conga line

Except with none of the fun and just the late drunk nights

And we convince ourselves that we're having a good time

Or maybe everything's fine

Maybe everything's fine

The funny thing about Cloud nine is that clouds are often made to rain

We can't blame inevitability for all of our chosen pains

So when it pours and when we fall

Sure, we feel like we had it all

But this is the chosen name

We can build it up straight from the ground

But the world will always come to break down

We're shocked

Tectonic plates were made to rock

Or we can be lead on like a real bad date

But you can't search a bathroom stall for fate

We just convince ourselves that we're having a real good time

Or maybe everything's fine

And maybe I need a sign

Maybe I discard the good things I see as lies

Cuz I've had to learn to do that my whole life

And it gets so tiring to waste all my tries

The funny thing about deflection besides it stopping my reflection

Is that I tend to overanalyse

In my head I can get judgemental, I swear it's often incidental

Defense mechanisms on the rise

Or maybe everything's fine

Maybe I'll be fine

Maybe I just need to see this whole thing through

They say I'll get better, I just have to choose

I guess to them, I was just choosing to lose
