Lyrics

Exit Strategy

What are you hiding?

What's hidden underneath?

I have this feeling it's gonna be the death of me

What are you hiding?

What's hidden underneath?

I have this feeling it's gonna be the death of me

We can't believe what we think we see

I'm begging you for understanding

We can't believe what we see

I'm begging you

You just want the best of me

And I know that I can't take the easy way out

The easy way out

I saw what you wanted me to see

A life you can't have, but it's a dream

Don't you see the way you've rigged the lies you've told me?

You're the deceived

We are the deceived

We are the deceived

Heads in the clouds and foots in the ground

Do you believe what you see?

Heads in the clouds and foots in the ground

I can't believe what I see

You just want the best of me

And I know that I can't take the easy way out

The easy way out

You just want the rest of me

I can't live when I know all the secrets you keep

Secrets you keep

I can't forget what you've done to me

Realizing what I failed to see

Reality

Retracing my steps only to see my regrets

You just want the best of me

And I know that I can't take the easy way out

The easy way out

You just want the rest of me

I can't live when I know all the secrets you keep

Secrets you keep
