I Always Know

[Verse 1]
You treat it like the world’s most wanted criminal
Lock him up and throw away the key
Not everything has to be so cynical
Why can’t you just be real with me

[Chorus]
It’s the way your gaze
Keeps on moving away
And you can’t help but laugh
When you say you’re okay
It’s the subtle shift
Well I always know
When you’re lying to me

[Post-Chorus]
When you lie to me
You’re only lying to yourself
When you lie to me
You’re only crying out for help
Cause I always know
I always know

[Verse 2]
You say you hate your day job
Cause you’re living for a pay stub
You’re so tired of mediocrity
Now we’re laying on thе carpet
In your one bedroom apartmеnt
Saying “happiness is the company you keep”
Yeah right

[Chorus]
It’s the way your gaze
Keeps on moving away
And you can’t help but laugh
When you say you’re okay
It’s the subtle shift
You think I don’t see
Well I always know
When you’re lying to me

[Post-Chorus]
When you lie to me
You’re only lying to yourself
When you lie to me
You’re only crying out for help

[Bridge]
It’s another night
Where you just can’t sleep
It’s another shower
It’s another drink
It’s another walk
With no place to be
I always know
When you’re lying to me

[Outro]
When you lie to me
You’re only lying to yourself
When you lie to me
You’re not crying out for help
Cause I always know
I always know
Yeah I always know
