Living A Lie

[Verse 1: Bobby Gillespie] We're living a lie There's nothing we can do At least we tried to see it through I'm hurting baby, and so are you It's time to say goodbye We're living a lie Been living alone Together apart The things we do to each other Is breaking our hearts It's a shame We're living in pain We're living alone Together apart [Chorus: Bobby Gillespie] But there's a price to pay for living When you're taking but not giving You're trying to get to heaven But you ain't got no religion [Verse 2: Jehnny Beth] You stay out latе Never come homе for days I don't know where you were Or who you were with You wonder why I don't have sex with you anymore? Well, without trust, how can there be love? [Verse 3: Bobby Gillespie] We're living a lie And we both know It's time to say goodbye But we're scared to go We can just keep on pretending That no one wants to end it We're living a lie We're living a lie [Chorus: Bobby Gillespie] There's a price to pay for living When you're taking but not giving You're trying to get to heaven But you ain't got no religion [Post-Chorus: Jehnny Beth] We're living a lie We're living a lie We're living a lie [Verse 4: Jehnny Beth] You come home deranged Acting guilty and strange You've put a wound Where the trust once was And now, you try to shift the blame I don't want our children to grow up Amongst all this fighting and drug taking It's heartbreaking It's damaging them Can't you see? It's over [Chorus: Bobby Gillespie] There's a price to pay for living When you're taking but not giving You're trying to get to heaven But you ain't got no religion There's a price to pay for living When you're taking but not giving You're trying to get to heaven But you ain't got no religion [Outro: Bobby Gillespie] We try, but we die inside We lie, just to stay alive We try, but we die inside We lie, just to stay alive
