I lie to you sometimes
Try to hide the things inside
Try to slide atop the tide
Yeah, and take you for a ride
Don't want you looking at my soul
You might see that I'm not whole
Might find ashes, might find coal
Where you thought you would find gold
I lie to you sometimes
No looking at my soul
I lie to you sometimes
I lie to you sometimes
Sometimes
I lie to you
Try to hide the things inside
Try to slide atop the tide
Yeah, and take you for a ride
It seems easier this way
Seems like everything's okay
And we talk about the weather
'Cause there's nothing else to say
Don't get sad and don't get close
'Cause that's what I hate the most
Makes me uneasy and morose
Makes me take a double dose
Makes me deal with the pain
Makes me have to start again
Does that mean things will get better
Or will sunshine turn to rain
I lie to you sometimes
No looking at my soul
I lie to you sometimes
I lie to you sometimes
You know
I lie to you
Please don't believe the words I say
Because the greatest price I pay
Is when you smile and walk away
I lie to you sometimes
Please don't believe the words I say
The greatest price I pay
Is when you smile and walk away
