You're not running just enough of a wreck To hold the hurt heart everybody expects And I know you wrote a history of making a mess Misunderstood's an understatement at best How long, how long will you demand my sympathy We all know hurt so why do you feel the need to
PRE-CHORUS: Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste No one's buying it anyway
CHORUS: You're so tired trying to rewind the mess you've made of your own mind But the pieces won't pick up themselves you know You can fight just like you've been taught, it won't undo the life you've got 'Cause the pieces won't pick up themselves you know
You're not running just enough of a wreck To hold the hurt heart everybody expects And I know you wrote a history of making a mess Misunderstood's an understatement at best You say you try, you're after something better It doesn't show, you're still not put together
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
Everybody knows liars never make it for long I am getting close, I can see just what's going on Everybody knows, everybody knows (Whoah-oh, woah-oh) I remember what you were before you gave it away You've never been the type to watch the pieces fall where they may And now you've let it go But I know you know (Woah-oh, woah-oh)
