You walk around here with your head held up high
You got your pride, and I've got mine
But, you lied
How could you?
Please tell me
What else was a lie
I need to know why!
You wear those boots wtih your cocky smirk
I'm addicted to you, you jerk,
and I didn't know why
How could I?
Your words tell me lies
Your heart tells you lies,
but mine cannot
Mine cannot lie
but why?
