(Verse 1)
Why do I stay when you´re leaving?
I´ve got splinters in my fingers from the damage that you’ve done
So why does it hurt when you`re speaking?
All my words that you keep twisting till you`ve turned them all around

These shallow heights stitch me up inside

(Chorus)
‘Cause I, I feel better when I’m lying to
Better when I’m lying to myself
I feel better when I’m lying to
Better when I’m lying to myself
I feel better when I`m lying to myself

(Verse 2)
Why do I stay when you´re leaving?
I’ve got holes left in my pocket from betting against the odds
So why do I cave when you`re begging?
For the second chance that I have given you so many times

These shallow heights stitch me up inside

(Chorus)
‘Cause I, I feel better when I’m lying to
Better when I’m lying to myself
I feel better when I’m lying to
Better when I’m lying to myself
I feel better when I’m lying to
Better when I’m lying to myself
And my head and my head and my head`s in the clouds
And you’re calling me up saying you`re leaving town
Tell me where, Tell me where, Tell me where are we now?

(Chorus)
‘Cause I, I feel better when i`m lying to
Better when I’m lying to myself
I feel better when I’m lying to
Better when I`m lying to myself
I feel better when I’m lying to
Better when I’m lying to myself

(Outro)
I feel better when I’m lying to myself
I feel better when I’m lying to
Better when I’m lying to myself
