The lies werenât created to hurt you
I should have known the only way out was through
Should have rolled up my sleeves
And started moving this elephant out the living room
A lick of paint âcause the walls felt clinical
The couch became my own hot seat this is my life
But aint no Aspel itâs just us two
I needed more the bedroom was a chore
Hiding from my own thoughts a prisoner of love
âCause I knew that you needed me I thought was enough
Over time I just became stuck.
And it werenât that you werenât special to me, yes
I can read that expression clearly
You got a look like Iâm trying to patronise you
But Iâm telling you the truth Iâm tired of hiding from you.
Iâm looking in zoom, but itâs not tunnel vision
âCause spread the pieces like a puzzle and put it back together listen listen.v
I canât do this any longer
Iâm tired
And if I stay her any liar
A liar, a liar, a liar
Iâll be a liar
A liar, a liar, a liar
Youâll call me a liar
I know youâre not weak but youâre human
and I been hurt before so it kills me to do
I feel like Iâm the one to destroy it I should have never allowed us to pursue
Now I feel so stupid
The moment that I had second thoughts
I shouldnât push it the back of my mind like itâs a chore
I guess thatâs reason this elephant is now in the middle of our living room floor feeding of my own fears that leaving you will leave me lonely.
I love how much you love me, I love how much you show me,
I love the way you want to let go when you hold me
I guess Iâm in love with my own selfishness
and Iâm sittinâ here acting like its selflessness
You deserve more than this.
This is crowding us and is the reason its
looking like Iâm the egotist, yeah insecurity is the same as this
I canât do this any longer
Iâm tired
And if I stay her any liar
A liar, a liar, a liar
Iâll be a liar
A liar, a liar, a liar
Youâll call me a liar
I cant do this anymore
I cant do this anymore
I cant do this anymore
I cant do this anymore
