False Hope Lyrics

Why do you keep coming around

Even when you know it's done

Why do you keep floating down

A river that's already run dry

How can you stay standing up

When I'm falling to my knees

How can you keep talking tough

When you know I can barely speak right

Oh 'cause

Nothing says "I love you" like false hope

Nothing is so easy to see through and hard to let go

Nothing feels so much like a cruel joke

But if you can't love me, you can go

Where did you think I could hide

You were always in the room

Why would I cover my eyes

When I would see was you there

Oh 'cause

Nothing says "I love you" like false hope

Nothing is so easy to see through and hard to let go

Nothing feels so much like a cruel joke

But if you can't love me, you can go

Someone teach me a lesson here

I'm getting it wrong

It seems I fall every year

For the same song

And he won't sing for me

But he won't ever leave

He knows nothing says "I love you" like false hope

Nothing is so easy to see through and hard to let go

Nothing feels so much like a cruel joke

But if he can't love me, he can go
