Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Clever got me this far, then tricky got me in
Eye on what I'm after, I don't need another friend
Smile and drop the cliché till you think I'm listening
Take just what I came for, then I'm out the door again
[Verse 2]
Peripheral on the package, don't care to settle in
Time to feed the monster, I don't need another friend
Comfort is a mystery crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for, then I'm out the door again
[Chorus]
Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get just what I need
Lie to get what I crave
Lie and smile to get what's mine
[Verse 3]
Eye on what I'm after, I don't need another friend
Nod and watch your lips move if you need me to pretend
Because clever got me this far, then tricky got me in
I'll take just what I came for, then I'm out the door again
[Chorus]
Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie and smile and get what's mine
Give this to me
[Bridge]
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
[Chorus]
Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I crave
Lie, just smile and get what's mine
Give this to me
[Bridge]
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Give this to me
[Outro]
Take what's mine
Take what's mine
Mine
Take what's mine
Take what's mine
Take what's mine
This is mine
Mine
Mine
