lyrics

heard you say it before, like last night
when you filled up with liquor and shed a new light
not that it’s an excuse for this opening flood
When we’re miles apart, does it do any good?

the logic is gone; why am I here?
what are you drinking, if you’re out of beer?
you’re talking to me, but you keep me unknown.
can’t reconstruct glass that you already broke

ooooooh, learn the lie
oooooooh, now it’s mine

if I’m just a voice and words on a page
how easy it is to leave me this way
no touch to remember, or kiss to recall
you’re planning your exit; i’m watching it all

i’m trying to give what little i can
you keep running further with each condition
no time for regrets, just play your guitar
but your hands can’t keep up, you won’t get very far

oooh learn the lie
oooh now it’s mine

didn’t let you know i saw right through you
i know you wanted me to
don’t know why I couldn’t leave my guard down
but you didn't deserve to keep me around

check your pride at the door, it doesn’t suit me anymore
let that bottle stand in for me, and I’ll just be here
i’ll just be, I’ll just be.

oooh learn the lie
i saw right through you
oooh now it’s mine
you wanted me to
oooh learn the lie
couldn't leave my guard down
oooh now it’s mine
