I lie to you

I confide in you

But you don’t know how hard I’ve tried for you

How I’ve torn myself apart for you

How I gave my whole heart to you

-

You give me so much

And yet I seem to give so little

You’re always under strain

And I always get the blame

But you don’t know how much you demand from me

The pressure when you hand your heart to me

And I’m not fit to protect it

-

And so I lie

And so I change

And so I’m your perfect little angel again

And so I fake

And so I pretend

Anything so you never see the real me

-

I lie to you

I confide in you

But you don’t know how hard I’ve tried for you

How I’ve torn myself apart for you

How I gave my whole heart to you

-

I’ve tried to be

All you need me to be

It’d break your heart to see the real me

-

You don’t understand this

And neither do I

Yet I’m always at fault

And I always say sorry first

But you don’t know how much I cry inside

I can’t stand the thought of hurting you inside

But from your face I know I do

-

And so I lie

And so I change

And so I break my own heart to save yours again

And so I fake

And so I pretend

So you’ll never know how much I doubt myself

-

I lie to you

I trust in you

But you don’t know how hard I’ve tried for you

How much I've scarificed for you

And how I gave my breaking heart to you

-

I’ve tried to be

All you want me to be

It’d hurt you to know i doubt my love

-

Please don’t trust me

And don’t call me loyal

Please don’t trust me with your heart

I don’t want to break it apart

I’m not who you think I am, I don’t even know myself

I don’t deserve you, your love, or your help

But I love you so much

-

And so I lie

And so I change

And so I love you with all I have to give

And so I fake

And so I pretend

And so you go on loving when you don’t know

-

And you will never know

-

How much I lie to you

How much I depend on you

You’ll never understand how much I changed for you

That I’m tearing myself apart for you

And why I still give my whole heart to you
