I can't explain it but I always liked lying to you,
It's a hobby that I'm totally committed to,
It's a skill I think I want to take some time to improve.
And recently I've got a whole lot of practice in,
It's hard to count how many arguments we've gotten in,
I used to care about the truth and now I just want to win.
I can't ease my way into this conversation,
And every way out's just another little altercation,
I need a better muse for my lyrical inspiration,
That hasn't been used, and isn't you
I tried explaining but it fell upon a set of deaf ears,
And had me wondering just what the fuck I'm doing here?
Believing me is just a sad and lonely state of affairs.
I tried to count the minutes left between the you and me,
But then the minutes turned to hours, days, infinity,
All lies come back eventually.
I can't ease my way into this conversation,
And every way out's just another little altercation,
I need a better muse for my lyrical inspiration,
That hasn't been used, and isn't you.
Tried and untrue, It's gotta be you,
You know all my hooks were just lines that sunk when I sang them for you
And all at once i forgot all the fuss we were making over you.
Tried and untrue, It's gotta be you,
You know all my hooks were just lines that sunk when I sang them for you
And all at once i forgot all the fuss we were making over you,
And I can't breathe you in,
These melodies you're in.
