White Lies

I I'll lay it on the line But baby give me time I cannot change what's stood in the mirror See I hold a smoking gun Been living on the run Shot it long ago but right here, right now I don't think they'll ever understand I'm too weak to be a bad man Holding on for dear life Yeah I lied my face off too much most days Talking in my sleep instead of talking to you You'll like me better with my head in the ground I need some relief so throw me a lifeline They talk with words, I shout white lies C-can I breathe? I don't know what I need I'm counting down from three Oh I just wanna drown in the river But hey I know I'm not as young Stopped playing games for fun I wanna be a man she'll admire right now I don't think they'll truly understand That I am really not the same man Been waiting here forever If I stop right now have I stopped too late? Talking in my sleep instead of talking to you You'll like me better with my head in the ground I need some relief so throw me a lifeline They talk with words, I shout white lies She was the voice inside my head And she's only getting clearer I can't wake up when I feel dead Now I wake up with the shivers She was the voice inside of my head And she's only getting clearer I can't wake up when I feel dead Now I wake up with the shivers 'Cause I've been talking in my sleep instead of talking to you You'll like me better with my head in the ground I need some relief so throw me a lifeline They talk with words, I shout white lies Talking in my sleep instead of talking to you 'Cause I need some relief so throw me a lifeline They talk with words, I shout white lies White lies White lies Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
