lyrics

Did you say would you say what you said because you felt sorry?
Did you laugh because you cried or did you just feel boring?
Would you ask what you asked the same way that you said it?
Would you tell what you told or would you just forget it all?

Did they make you tell or did you sell all by yourself?
Were you lying to me or did the truth finally come out?
Did you say what you said because you felt sorry?
Did you laugh because you cried or did you just feel boring?

Can you just tell me? Because I’m sick of being lied to.
Do your stories ever end?

And all these words that keep tumbling out of my mouth,
I feel it’s only fair to warn you that I’m really doing alright.
And all these words that you’ve said
will always stick to me like glue, but life moves on,
yeah I’m moving on without you.

I’ll leave the past behind, I’ll take the next train,
I’ll be gone, no longer feel the pain.
I’ll choose to live in the moment, and not be slowed down
by the lies that keep tumbling out of your mouth.

Can you tell me? Because I’m sick of being lied to.
Do your stories ever end?

Can you tell me? I deserve the truth.
Yeah, the truth. The truth.

To spread some light on the moment,
let’s light some pretty candles, start a fire,
and burn this whole place down.
I’m only kidding of course, I think it’s only a matter of time
before it all caves in around us anyhow.

So tell me what you’re thinking, tell me what’s on your mind.
Your thoughts aren’t pretty but don’t leave me behind.
Do you say what you say because you just feel sorry?
Do you laugh because you cry or do you just feel boring?

Can you tell me? Because I’m so sick of being lied to.
Do your stories ever end?
Can you tell me? Because I’m so sick of being lied to.
Do your stories ever end?

I deserve the truth. The truth.
Yeah, the truth. The truth.
I deserve the truth. The truth.
