You tell yourself a lie and you will live a lie You told me you could fly, I've never seen you fly Tearing yourself to pieces Tearing yourself apart What are you trying to prove? Who are you trying to prove it to? Hiding your self destruction Hiding yourself away Showing everyone around you Such a different face You've got gear and loathing You've got all the self abuse And you think you caught it From someone you almost knew You have lost all your chances You have lsot all your days You can always find Someone you'd rather blame Decided that you would fall down You know that it's all your fault But still you try to make someone responsible You don't need the things you want You're always so confused You don't want the things you need Just what's wrong with you? Tell yourself a lie, you will live a lie Told me you could fly, I've never seen you fly Told me you could die, I've never seen you die Tell yourself a lie, you will live a lie You lie... you lie... You lie... you lie... Tearing yourself to pieces Tearing yourself apart What are you trying to prove? Who are you trying to prove it to? Hiding your self destruction Hiding yourself away Showing everyone around you Such a different face You've got gear and loathing You've got all the self abuse And you think you caught it From someone you almost knew Tell yourself a lie, you will live a lie Told me you could fly, I've never seen you fly Told me you could die, I've never seen you die Tell yourself a lie and you will live a lie You lie... you lie... You lie... you lie... You lie...
