lyrics

Love was a story I told to pass the time
But it never stayed long
Ended wrong
Obligatory

If love’s the point of life, then I learned to live a lie
Pressing on
Heart withdrawn
The perfect crime
Nobody's stealing it
I’m just not feeling it

[Chorus]
I just make do with the things
That get me through the day
No risk, no reward
And that’s okay
I guess it wasn’t meant to be
The point of love was lost on me
A stupid game
Buried the flame
Here lies the dream

I stood on the threshold, celebrity contrived
And I gave up the fight
Lost the light
Nothing special

The things I fantasized were not a life I could survive
Better doubt
Selling out
All the lies
Thought I was made for it
But I would have hated it

[Chorus]
I just make do with the things
That get me through the day
No risk, no reward
And that’s okay
They said I could be anything
But I’m a joke I played on me
Farewell fame
Praise and acclaim
Here lies the dream

[Bridge]
Something worth giving for
Something worth living for
Can’t stand that lifestyle
Attraction, ambition
A war of attrition
'Cause I just don’t see anything worthwhile

[Chorus]
So I’ll make do with the things
That get me through the day
No risk, no reward
And that’s okay
I'll get better, this is fine
I know it’s no one’s fault but mine
Here lies blame
Here lies shame
Here lies the dream
