[00:00.74]When I was a young boy
[00:02.89]I was honest and I had more self-control
[00:06.19]If I was tempted I would run
[00:10.83]Then, when I got older
[00:15.90]I began to lie to get exactly what I wanted
[00:17.34]When I wanted it
[00:19.04]- And I wanted it
[00:20.93]Now, I'm having trouble differentiating
[00:24.30]Between what I want
[00:26.11]And what I need
[00:27.23]To make me happy
[00:30.63]So instead of thinking I just stop
[00:33.52]Before I have the chance to contemplate the
[00:36.08]Consequences of action
[00:39.00]
[00:40.10]Bridge:
[00:40.65]And I will turn off
[00:42.65]And I will shut down
[00:45.36]Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
[00:49.96]And I will turn off
[00:52.13]And I will shut down
[00:54.97]The chemicals are restless in my head
[00:56.94]
[00:58.22]Chorus:
[00:59.29]'Cuz I lie
[01:01.61]Not because I want to
[01:04.07]But I seem to need to
[01:06.36]All the time
[01:09.17]Yeah, I lie
[01:11.46]And I don't even know it
[01:13.86]Maybe this is
[01:15.28]All a part of my flawed design
[01:16.84]
[01:24.73]And ever since I figured out
[01:26.93]That I could control other people
[01:29.61]I've had trouble sleeping
[01:31.44]With both eyes closed
[01:34.29]And if I asked permission
[01:36.53]If I make sure it's ok
[01:38.65]I promise I won't slip up this time
[01:41.39]You can trust me
[01:44.11]But never take advice from someone
[01:46.49]Who just admitted to being devious
[01:49.39]Who just confessed to treason
[01:54.06]And I would ask
[01:55.26]That you never ask a question
[01:57.29]That I cannot ask myself
[01:59.29]For it might
[02:00.44]Dirty up your conscience
[02:01.58]
[02:02.43]Chorus:
[02:03.40]'Cuz I lie
[02:05.36]Not because I want to
[02:07.97]But I seem to need to

[02:20.08]
[02:23.88]And how can you say those things
[02:26.27]Why can't you just believe?
[02:29.09]And how can you say those things
[02:31.35]And keep a straight face?
[02:33.50]And how can you say those things
[02:35.88]Why can't you just believe?
[02:38.40]And how can you say those things
[02:40.52]And keep a straight face?
