We Lied to Each Other
[Verse 1]
You say you built up walls
Baby, I built myself up a whole goddamn house
It's a hundred feet tall
Don't even try to break in, it's made to keep you out
Every time I let somebody in
They let me down, I kick 'em out again
And I build up the walls a little higher
So I'm sorry if I don't believe your shit
I just think I might be runnin' out of bricks
'Cause it turns out that everyone's a liar
[Chorus]
Like I lied when I said I don't care
And you lied when you told me you did
We lied to each other and it isn't fair
We lied to each other
And I'd do it again
[Verse 2]
I know if I saw you right now
I would run away fast
Or say, "I just wanna be friends"
So you don't figure out that my walls are just glass
The problem is that there's a difference
You're a criminal and I am innocent
You're beautiful but the truth is ugly
I never had your bad intentions
I just kinda sorta didn't mention
That I want you 'cause I know you'll never love me
[Chorus]
So I lied when I said I don't care
And you lied when you told me you did
We lied to each other and it isn't fair
We lied to each other
[Bridge]
The only explanation
For this sad situation
Is that I love to be in pain
I don't think I'm worthy
Don't think I'm deserving
Of love, that's why I play these games
[Chorus]
So I lied when I said I don't care
And you lied when you told me you did
We lied to each other and it isn't fair
We lied to each other
[Outro]
We lied to each other
We lied to each other
We lied to each other
We lied to each other
And I'd do it again
