Confidence Trick

Never meant to hurt you, I don't know why

You come with your lawyers and your alibi

How can you look me straight in the eye

When you know

The clock on the wall is singing our song

The love in my heart is all dead and gone

You know why

You know why

There you go with your confidence trick

I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit

Feeling so low and looking so high

We both know that your truth is a lie

I never really knew you all these years

You lied to my face while I undressed your fears

Then you set me a-sail on an ocean of tears

Said goodbye

The clock on the wall is ticking real slow

There's nothing to say and there's nowhere to go

You know why

You know why

There, there you go with your confidence trick

I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit, no no

Feeling so low and looking so high

We both know that your truth is a lie

It's a lie

Looking up to the truth of what you are

Blinding all colours and beauty

And the sparkle in your eye is blinding

The clock on the wall is singing our song

The love in my heart is all dead and gone

You know why

You know why

Why, why, why, why, why, why

There, there you go with your confidence trick

I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit

Feeling so low and looking so high

We both know that your truth is a lie

It's a lie, lie

(The truth is, the truth is a lie)

(repeats in background)

And you never stopped loving me

Choaking back tears for you

So lovable

And we never go

And we never know

See I'm over

But I'm under

I don't ever wanna come down

I don't ever wanna come down

I don't ever wanna come down

To where you are
