Architecture of Lies

I used to think one day I'd learn the truth about life
Nailed everything I saw to the wall of certainties
Then life came along and casually pulled down
My house

Used to think I would understand things
Now I learned there´s nothing to [C7]be [Am]understood
Then I believed everything I touched
Was a lie impossible to [C7]live up to
Pull down brick by brick
The fence around my [A]life
Burnt the flowers ´cos I thought
I thought they were alibis

Used to [C7]think I would understand [Bm]things
Now I learned there´s nothing to [C7]be [Am]understood

Now I observe constɾuctions around me
The architecture of soρhisticated lives
Warehouses to [C7]pile up mistakes
Woodsheds to [C7]hide the dreams we give up on

Used to [C7]think I would understand [Bm]things
Now I learned there´s nothing to [C7]be [Am]understood
I used to [C7]think one day I'd get to [C7]be [Am]something
Now there's nothing that I wanna be
There's nothing I can be [Am]'cause I'm nothing
There's nothing I can be, not worth tɾying
