[Verse 1]
Never gonna put you out
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna break your heart
Never gonna mess around
Never gonna tell you lies
Never gonna make you cry
All those things you said
Now would you mind telling me why
I'm out here all alone
And I'm feeling let down
My heart's broken up in two
I'm wondering what was true
Hearing all the shit you said
Now somebody else is in your bed
And now that I've got your attention...
[Chorus]
Listen to the sound of me breaking down, down, down
Can't you hear me losing my mind?
Everything that's everything is nothing
And I can't tell your truth from your lies
This is the sound of me breaking down, down, down
Over and over in my head
You're a liar, a liar, a liar, yeah
[Verse 2]
So, why don't you just hush up all that noise
That's all it ever was
Now, how are you gon' try to confess
What you should've said?
Just a simple friend
I didn't mean to fall in love
Well, I fell for the spell that you cast
And as if that wasn't enough
(No, hold up, right now)
But wait a minute, baby
I gotta get this off my chest somehow
'Cause I'm running out of ways to say just what I mean
Can you tell by the look on my face
That I just want to scream?
[Chorus]
Listen to the sound of me breaking down, down, down
Can't you hear me losing my mind?
Everything that's everything is nothing
And I can't tell your truth from your lies
This is the sound of me breaking down, down, down
Over and over in my head
You're a liar, a liar, a liar, yeah
[Bridge]
All the things we do in the heat of the moment
It can cost you a lifetime of happiness
All the things we do in the heat of the moment
For many days to come can bring you nothing but distress
All the things we said in the heat of the moment
You may think that everything's going right
But the very next day...
All the things you said in the heat of the moment
...they change overnight
[Chorus]
Listen to the sound of me breaking down, down, down
Can't you hear me losing my mind?
Everything that's everything is nothing
And I can't tell your truth from your lies
This is the sound of me breaking down, down, down
Over and over in my head
You're a liar, a liar, a liar, yeah
[Outro]
Sometimes in our lives
See, there's right or wrong, right or wrong, right or wrong
See, I'm here to let y'all know
That my life, my life, my life
That my life goes on...
