[Verse 1:] I can see through your lies Bluff and turn your face away You run and hide But now your heart is right there On your sleeve, I know The cracks in your facade Are in your eyes In your eyes In your eyes
[Hook:] You could pay the price Take your own advice Have you made your choice? I've made mine
[Chorus:] Because when I arrive I, I'll bring the fire Make you come alive I can take you higher Can you tear your gaze Away from your reflection And see me Look at me Promise me
[Verse 2:] It's written on your face Liar, cheater, stole yourself away You can't escape from your own shadow I can smell your fear The venom on those honeyed lips still burns Oh, it burns How it burns
[Hook:] You could pay the price Take your own advice Have you made your choice? This is mine
[Chorus:] Because when I arrive I, I'll bring the fire Make you come alive I can take you higher Can you tear your gaze Away from your reflection And see me Look at me Promise me
[Rap Break:] Reality check, it's time to wake up No clouds in the sky are gonna lift you up You keep on losing all these battles that you've already won Even when you're staring slack-jawed at the blinding sun
Clear the cobwebs from the catacombs, I'll wrack your brains Take good, long listen to the last refrain It's like I'm standing on the seaside calling out your name But you don't hear it, you don't want what's past your sunglass frames
You think you're hanging by a thread, when your feet are on the ground Tear the breath from you, screaming, but your voice don't make a sound I'd rather dance on pins and needles wearing eggshell shoes Than spend another minute longer unable to choose
Do I help you out, or do I leave you be? It doesn't matter what I say, you're crippled willingly I'm running out of reasons that'll make you take a stand This isn't something you can overcome by holding my hand
[Chorus:] Because when I arrive I, I'll bring the fire Make you come alive I can take you higher Can you tear your gaze Away from your reflection And see me Look at me Promise me
[Chorus:] Because when I arrive I, I'll bring the fire Make you come alive I can take you higher Can you tear your gaze Away from your reflection And see me Look at me Promise me
[Outro:] I used to wish I could be As cool as you I used to wish I could say All the things you do But I can't and I won't live a lie No, not this time
