[Verse 1]
I remember the walls turning grey, I remember it all
What my family said when describing the fall
I remember the look on your face, the excuses you made
They were your friends too, I remember that call
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wish you were less predictable
God, that was unoriginal
You hurt me like they did
Know someone had to draw the line
But you called us off ahead of time
You can say it 'cause it's true
[Chorus]
If I tell you that I want you
Know that I can lie too
Just beat you to the punchline
You make it seem so
If I tell you that I want you
Know that I can lie too
Just beat you to the punchline
You make it seem so easy
[Verse 2]
I don't need you to take it all back
I don't need you to tell me that it wasn't all that bad
I just need you
Oh, look what we've come to
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wish you were less predictable
God, that was unoriginal
You hurt me like they did
Know someone had to draw the line
But you called us off ahead of time
You can say it 'cause it's true
[Chorus]
If I tell you that I want you
Know that I can lie too
Just beat you to the punchline
You make it seem so
If I tell you that I want you
Know that I can lie too
Just beat you to the punchline
You make it seem so easy
[Outro]
(Know that I can lie)
This isn't easy (Know that I can lie)
This isn't easy, this isn't easy
This isn't easy (Know that I can lie)
(Know that I can lie)
