You fake a smile and bat your eyes Pretend its easy breaking ties But no matter what you say You cant hide what youre feeling
Time after time you still do it And everyone else can see through it Its the crutch that you hold to Its the thing that you wont do
You tell yourself its worth your while And spend your days in such denial 'Cause the love that you're giving Aint the same that youre getting Every time you say that it wont end the same way But the trick that you fall for Is the same that you find
Through the smoke and fake lights you search for another Wasting all your time on these one night lovers Still cant figure how you hurt yourself again, again Yeah, I could show you love I can give you my time You can wander in the dark Or we could make things right But you keep turning away and wonder why you never win, again
