The lies weren’t created to hurt you
|
I should have known the only way out was through
|
Should have rolled up my sleeves
|
And started moving this elephant out the living room
|
A lick of paint ‘cause the walls felt clinical
|
The couch became my own hot seat this is my life
|
But aint no Aspel it’s just us two
|
I needed more the bedroom was a chore
|
Hiding from my own thoughts a prisoner of love
|
‘Cause I knew that you needed me I thought was enough
|
Over time I just became stuck.
|
And it weren’t that you weren’t special to me, yes
|
I can read that expression clearly
|
You got a look like I’m trying to patronise you
|
But I’m telling you the truth I’m tired of hiding from you.
|
I’m looking in zoom, but it’s not tunnel vision
|
‘Cause spread the pieces like a puzzle and put it back together listen listen.v
|
I can’t do this any longer
|
I’m tired
|
And if I stay her any liar
|
A liar, a liar, a liar
|
I’ll be a liar
|
A liar, a liar, a liar
|
You’ll call me a liar
|
|
I know you’re not weak but you’re human
|
and I been hurt before so it kills me to do
|
I feel like I’m the one to destroy it I should have never allowed us to pursue
|
Now I feel so stupid
|
The moment that I had second thoughts
|
I shouldn’t push it the back of my mind like it’s a chore
|
I guess that’s reason this elephant is now in the middle of our living room floor feeding of my own fears that leaving you will leave me lonely.
|
I love how much you love me, I love how much you show me,
|
I love the way you want to let go when you hold me
|
I guess I’m in love with my own selfishness
|
and I’m sittin’ here acting like its selflessness
|
You deserve more than this.
|
This is crowding us and is the reason its
|
looking like I’m the egotist, yeah insecurity is the same as this
|
|
I can’t do this any longer
|
I’m tired
|
And if I stay her any liar
|
A liar, a liar, a liar
|
I’ll be a liar
|
A liar, a liar, a liar
|
You’ll call me a liar
|
|
I cant do this anymore
|
I cant do this anymore
|
I cant do this anymore
|
I cant do this anymore
|
