"Stories" lyrics

I try to find heaven whenever it's hell
I try to stay in love and do it without your help
And now I sing myself to sleep in hotels with
Lullabies, wrapped in lies, and stories I tell myself
Ooh, ooh

Young minds
Stretching out the summertime
Staring at the sun so long
Didn't mean to go blind

Little lies
Turning into big cries
We could take the whole ocean
And fill it up a hundred times

But the mind's a crazy thing
It believes what it wants to
Standing in the cold water
Like it isn't turning us blue

I try to find heaven whenever it's hell
I try to stay in love and do it without your help
And now I sing myself to sleep in hotels with
Lullabies, wrapped in lies, and stories I tell myself
Ooh, ooh

On the back burn
I told myself it didn't hurt
There was always some reason
Why we didn't come first

And it still stings
I took the promise of the ring
You changed with the seasons
And now I'm shivering in the spring

But the mind's a crazy thing
It believes what it wants to
Standing in the cold water
Like it isn't turning us blue

I try to find heaven whenever it's hell
I try to stay in love and do it without your help
And now I sing myself to sleep in hotels with
Lullabies, wrapped in lies, and stories I tell myself, self

Stories I tell myself self
Stories I tell myself self
Stories I tell myself self
Stories I tell myself self
Stories I tell
