who in their right mind would buy a lie?
easiest said when broke
as long as i've got something to hide
i never want to lose control
i've been around twenty something years
what the hell do i know?
i miss the sound of your voice
and the love that you bestowed
upon my shame and above my reach
but i'm too proud to let you know
was i wrong when i said
i couldn't give you anymore?
and i don't want to be here anymore
i'm a long long way from home.
who in their right mind would buy a lie?
easiest said when broke
how long will i be content
trading love for a peep show?
how many miles must i walk
till i realize i can let it go?
