The only thing I've found sweeter than lies is you
I bet you'd expect me to walk on water 'cause you told me to

So I fake a smile and play along
The preacher's led the choir in sadder songs
So I raise this toast and hope these words find you

Baby, it's alright; darling, it's okay
I never loved you anyways
We all have our reasons
At best, all you needed to understand
Is sometimes fate needs a helping hand

I hear the footsteps pitter-patter across the bedroom floor
Who loves you more
Now that your pursed-lip, sweet-talk remedies
Don't work quite as well as they did before

What a pretty way to carry you the news
Because everybody's lonely when it pays to sing the blues

Baby, it's alright; darling, it's okay
I never loved you anyways
We all have our reasons
At best, all you needed to understand
Is sometimes fate needs a helping hand

The sweet's not as sweet without the bitterness of you

Baby, it's alright; darling, it's okay
I never loved you anyways
We all have our reasons
At best, all you needed to understand
Is sometimes fate needs a helping hand

It's what you wanted
That's what you needed
Baby, don't worry; you got it

Baby, it's alright; darling, it's okay
I never loved you anyways
We all have our reasons
At best, all you needed to understand
Is sometimes fate needs a helping hand
