The Backyard Of My Life
You Can Lie To Yourself (Just Don't Lie To Me)
It was a pretty little break up
Over a petty little thing
She had me under her spell all the time
Like a force of nature now i can see
You can lie to yourself just don't lie to me
I could of give her everything she ever wanted
With the world in the palm of her hand
Time passes so slowly in the hour glass of sand
There's a million complications why we could never be
You can lie to yourself just don't lie to me
Don't promise you will when you know you wont
Your playing with fire honey don't
Treat me like a fool
Day after day why so cruel
Trying to shovel smoke with a silver spoon
Holding out my hands trying to catch the moon
You got me running round like a monkey man
Lying to yourself is a one way road
Go let it out before you explode
She knows you know how to push my buttons
I tried to call her up but she dressed me down
She made me feel worthless like a piece of dirt
Swallowed by a shock wave here comes the hurt
Come collect your clothes give back your key
You can lie to yourself just don't lie to me
I tripped through your wires and fell at your feet
In hope of deliverance like a twist of fate
I thought i better speak up before its to late
She can kill with her smile and wound with her eyes
Shes been telling too many little black lies
Looking in the mirror practicing the politics of my misery
You can lie to yourself but don't lie to me
I consider it a capital crime
To steal my thoughts and waste my time
At a losers lounge where am trying to break free
You can lie to yourself just don't lie to me
Just don't lie to me
Just don't lie to me
Just don't lie to me
