I'm writing sad songs again
This cigarette is my only friend
I still remember the way I felt the day that you
left me, left me alone
And everytime that you cried
I was there at your side
When I needed you the most, when I cried the nights at home
You left me, left me alone
You said that you'd protect me, but I'm always in the cold
You said that you'd forgive me, but it's only what I'm told
You will win the battle but I will win the war
In this beautiful, beautiful lie
I tell myself everytime, it will go away, maybe, sometime
I'll let you win the fights and say that it's alright and
I'll make it through another day
You knew I'd always be there, and
You knew you could always bend the
Rules, don't mean a thing, you'll ruin everything
By shutting tight those beautiful eyes
You said that you'd protect me, but I'm always in the cold
You said that you'd forgive me, but it's only what I'm told
You will win the battle but I will win the war
In this beautiful, beautiful lie
