The 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.
Mmm, yeah
I need some closure
Feel like the chip fell off my shoulder
Overexposure
Open my wounds and made me close up
I got everything that I thought I like
Simple memories leave a stain like wine
It's pouring over
Coursing my veins, leaving me sober
But they told me the more the better
Guess the joke's on me
Same old song, I cry
Lie, lie, lie
Mmm
Lie, lie, lie
They lie, lie, lie
Mmm
Lie, lie, lie
I hate rollercoasters
Them ups and downs get me no closer
Played my role and did what I'm supposed to
They say: She's heating up, but I feel colder
Mm, pour the gasoline, set my dreams on fire
Smoking on my mist 'til it burns my eyes
I'm moving blind now
An empty heart is not a hideout
Oh, they told me the more the better
Guess the joke's on me
Same old song, I cry
Lie, lie, lie
Mmm
Lie, lie, lie
Don't believe the lie, lie, lie
Mmm
Lie, lie, lie
Oh, ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh, hey
Ah, ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh, hey
Mm, mm
Mmm
