Lyrics

Reasons to Lie

[Verse 1]

I get so tired of missing you

I get so tired of wanting to

Compare the things that are easy to do

Like the reasons you lie to me

The reasons I lie to you

[Chorus]

And I wish it was some kinda explosive device

That only you could diffuse

Reasons you lie to me

Reasons I lie to you

[Bridge]

Wanna live in a beautiful house

Somewhere up in the hills

With some people making fun of us

You refer to as your two kids

Then it wouldn't be somebody else

That you'd grow accustomed to

Reasons to lie to me

Is a reason to lie to you

[Verse 2]

I get so tired of missing you

I get so tired of wanting to

Compare the things that are easy to do

Like the reasons you lie to me

Reasons I lie to you
