Over and over
I'm sick and tired of playing games
You're not hard to keep
You're just hard to tame
And I can't find a truth
So next time around please introduce me
To a second chance of getting
Things right the first time
I'm dressed up and out of line
I've never made up anything
To prove I've never lied
And that's the biggest
Lie I've ever told
(I've ever told)
Turned a new leaf
Turned a new clover
(Pull your leaves and mud left over?)
This time I swear
We'll get it right
I'll break down the walls of innocence
And teach it to regret
When this is over
Let's be honest
I'm the one you won't remember
Till you take the chance to tear me open
Drag me to my knees
Tell me why else I'd write a record
To prove that you're the one I'm forced to need
I'm trying to remember all the reasons
That I scorned you for your treason
In the first place
So
Bring me down to my knees
One more time
Call my name and I'll swear that
You are my everything
Because it (drains me to believe you?)
Your life's a game of hide and seek
But you're playing with yourself
You're hiding while you're searching for
A cure for your (debt?)
I'll break down the walls of innocence
And teach it to regret
When this is over
Let's be honest
I'm the one you won't remember
Till you take the chance to tear me open
Drag me to my knees
Tell me why else I'd write a record
To prove that you're the one I'm forced to need
I've never made up anything
To hint I've never thought this through
Are we alright
Or did we mess this up
I allowed me to be wrapped around your finger
That's why if I let go you'll keep on holding on
I've never made up anything
To prove I've never lied
And that's the biggest
Lie I've ever told
(I've ever told)
(I've ever told)
(I've ever told)
I'll break down the walls of innocence
And every new regret
This is over
Let's be honest
You're the one I'll still remember
Cause I tried so hard to tear you open
Drag you to your knees
Tell me why else I'd write a record
It's criminal that you say you're done with me
So for the record
You're lies are cheap
But you can have my lies for free
