lying to myself

why do i stay when you're leaving

i've got splinters in my fingers from the damage that you've done

so why does it hurt when you're speaking

all my words do you keep twisting till you've turned them all around

these shallow heights

stitch me up inside

'cause i

i feel better when i'm lying to

better when i'm lying to myself

i feel better when i'm lying to

better when i'm lying to myself

i feel better when i'm lying to myself

why do i stay when you're leaving

i've got holes left in my pockets from betting against the odds

so why do i cave when you're begging

for the second chance that i have given you so many times

these shallow heights

stitch me up inside

'cause i

i feel better when i'm lying to

better when i'm lying to myself

i feel better when i'm lying to

better when i'm lying to myself

i feel better when i'm lying to

better when i'm lying to myself

and my head

and my head

and my head's in the clouds

and you're calling me up saying you're leaving town

tell me where

tell me where

tell me where are we now

mmh

'cause i

i feel better when i'm lying to

better when i'm lying to myself

i feel better when i'm lying to

better when i'm lying to myself

i feel better when i'm lying to

better when i'm lying to myself

i feel better when i'm lying to myself

i feel better when i'm lying to

better when i'm lying to myself
