I told myself a lie 

That I could not breathe without you 

I told myself a fairytale 

That you couldn't go on without me by your side 

I told myself a joke 

That we would go on forever 

I sold myself a lie 

That you will always stand by me 

I sold myself a story 

That I was your dream 

I sold myself a trick 

That you only had eyes for me 

I bought myself a book 

It was full of your adventures 

I bought myself a scarf 

So I could blind myself from the sore sights 

I bought myself an illusion 

When I let my imagination protect your deception 

I crowned myself Queen of Wants 

With all the missing pieces in my heart 

I crowned myself a charlatan 

Begging to wake up from you
