Joke Or a Lie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What should i do? i am lost.
Tell me to leave the next time i'm in front of you
I can't relate
Chip on your shoulder
How do you deal with that weight?
My hands are getting tired.
Call it a joke or a lie. call it a joke or a lie.
Put your coat on, then believe me.
I try.
Let us escape for a night.
Breathe the silence.
I am alone...
But i am alone in this room with you.
Call it a joke or a lie. call it a joke or a lie.
Put your coat on, then believe me.
I tried.
