The funny thing about lies is
They're only lies
The funny thing about hearts is
They tend to break easy
The funny thing about healing is

I'm alright

F                     Eb
Your voice was like a knife

You tried to cut my pride
Not this time

The funny thing about listening is
I don't have to hear you
And the funny thing about talking is

The only approval that I need is mine
