Love Songs Are Lies

Love songs are lies
They get in your head 
Screw with your life
With words thAt are said
I won't fall for that
I'm way to smart
Love songs aren't real
They only break hearts

I'm not a girly girl
I'm always a mess
My hair does what it wants 
I'm awkward in a dress
I grew up in a creek
Catching snakes and frogs
Covered in mud
Building forts out of logs
I never had curves
I wasn't skinny
But that was 
What made me, ME

Love songs are lies
They get in your head 
Screw with your life
With words thAt are said
I won't fall for that
I'm way to smart
Love songs aren't real
They only break hearts

My friends started dating 
That sounds like fun
But I wouldn't be left
The only one
They'd go gaga 
Over songs they would hear
This is our song
Whispers in ears

Love songs are lies
They get in your head 
Screw with your life
With words thAt are said
I won't fall for that
I'm way to smart
Love songs aren't real
They only break hearts

I didn't get it
Just music and words
20 years later
I now hear what they heard
I'm still awkward in a dress
I fall wearing heels 
But I finally know 
That love songs are real
Everything that I hear 
Turns my thoughts to you
I'm a little more girly
Since I fell for you

I believe in love 
And the songs that it plays
I believe I've been swept away
I believe in you 
I believe in me
I believe in the words 
That love songs sing.
