I tell myself, when I'm feeling sad.

Chorus:
                    G
You don't have the right to cry, you
         F#m       B
believed your own lie.
E                              A
It's your fault because, you thought
that she was yours.

Think it over once, think it over twice.
I wish I could take, my own advice.

I know I should be glad, why does it
hurt so bad?
