Lyin' next to Me

Fool me once - you're the reason.

Fool me twice - the blame's on me.

A fool in love will keep believin’,

One lie - two lies - make it three.

I’ve gotten good at giving second chances.

I’ve gotten good at hearing alibis.

Is this really what romance is?

You love me. kiss me and you tell me lies.

Oh I'm sure there's a perfect explanation you've worked out,

To tell me why I'm reading this all wrong.

And I'm sure you have a story tailor made to fit my doubt,

With enough false hope to keep me hanging on.

And all these stories that you say,

Get piled up right in the way,

Of a painful truth that I don't want to see.

And I must be a crazy fool,

To carry on when you're untrue,

But if you're lyin’ I want you lyin’ next to me.

They say that hindsight sees better,

And we should learn from our mistakes.

That’s the truth down to the letter.

And that’s whats keeping me awake.

Everybody likes to mention,

Tall tales of your checkered past.

Trust me, I don't need convicing.

I just think we can make it last.

See I've been taught you're not supposed to turn around and run away,

The minute that you see the trouble start.

At least that's what I've got to tell myself now each and every day,

While you spin your web of lies around my heart.

And all these stories that you say,

Get piled up right in the way,

Of a painful truth that I don't want to see.

And I must be a crazy fool,

To carry on when you're untrue,

But if you're lyin’ I want you lyin’ next to me.

And I must be a crazy fool,

To carry on when you're untrue,

But when you're lyin’ I want you lyin’ next to me.
