What I Did For Lies

I spend all my time

Wasting it on you

I spend all my time

Trying to understand you

Trying to make you happy

Trying to make you everything

That I never had

I see your looks and glances

Weary and afraid

Can I even show you?

Maybe I should wait

Making a big deal

Of how you feel you feel

Looking good for you

Wary in how I look

Well, can I be myself?

Is there anybody else?

Or am I just alone

Being forced to dream of love?

Must I live for you?

Or can I be just me?

I really can't believe

What I did for lies

I spend all my time

Wasting it on you

How can I spend all this time

Getting nowhere?

Tried to move in a new direction

I'd go in circles

I spent all my time

Now I'm spent and broken

Trying to make you happy

Trying to make you everything

That I never had

Looking at my reflection

I cannot seem to choose

Between what I think I want

And what I fear I'll lose

By making a big deal

Of how I feel I feel

Looking good for you

Wary in how I look

Well, can I be myself?

Is there anybody else?

Or am I just alone

Being forced to dream of love?

Must I live for you?

Or can I be just me?

I really can't believe

What I did for lies

Lies on the inside

Lies on the outside

Lies, lies, lies, lies

And I keep on telling them
