Lying to Yourself

Steph Something, Massimo De Agostini and Robbin Lace

Lying to Yourself

Once again honesty has broken everything
But it’s a cruel, cruel thing to keep
Someone assuming
But you are uncomfortable with the truth
And it makes no goddamn sense to me

Oh, you just keep

Lying to yourself
Lying to me
Pretending you’re okay
Pretending that you’re happy

Lying to yourself
Lying to me
Pretending you’re okay
Pretending that you’re happy

(Making me look like the fool for telling you the truth)

You let me get close
Lured me with somedays and I believes
But never close enough to let me be
Completely me and it
Makes not goddamn sense to me

Oh, then why so much melancholy, baby

Oh, you keep

Lying to yourself
Lying to me
Pretending you’re okay
Pretending that you’re happy

Lying to yourself
Lying to me
Pretending you’re okay
Pretending that you’re happy
