PROOF OF OUR LIES / no gain

Back then we told each other lies
Convincingly so we'd believe
I wish those lies had been the truth
Imagine the reunion that we'd have then.

But it's not, or is it that
the fact we lied so that we
would walk away and not look back.
Here we are, no better off;
proof of our lies, it's not okay.
As we cried, we gave our word
just so that we'd never get back
what was precious, now history.

Maybe we believed our words then.
We were hopeful and so naive.

But it's not, or is it that
the fact we lied so that we
would walk away and not look back.
Here we are, no better off;
proof of our lies, it's not okay.
As we cried, we gave our word
just so that we'd never get back
what was precious, now history.

We were all we had ever known
and we knew each other well;
villains and heroes over time.
We couldn't see life without us
always being intertwined.  

But it's not, or is it that
the fact we lied so that we
would walk away and not look back.
Here we are, no better off;
proof of our lies, it's not okay.
As we cried, we gave our word
just so that we'd never get back
what was precious, now history.

We carry, things like regret
If we hadn't lied we'd have the chance
To say things, now that we can't
Not postponing pain for no gain
