Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Day or night
Friendly or fire
Doesn't feel right to me
I can keep up
Even though I
Won't feel all right for weeks
Never mind
Don't pretend we know the meaning
Don't look up
Try not to see that I'm leaving
[Verse 2]
When I say that I don't need help
And I promise I will be fine
Oh, I la-la-lie
La-la-la-lie
La-la-lie to myself
[Verse 3]
Can you look me straight in the eye?
There's a story for every time
And you la-la-lie
La-la-la-lie
La-la-lie to yourself
[Verse 4]
Day and night
You need advice
Don't get caught up with me
Burden of proof
I'm not confused
I wasn't even here
Never mind
Don't pretend we know the meaning
Don't look down
Try not to see that you're bleeding
[Verse 5]
You can say that you don't need help
Can you look me straight in the eye?
Can you la-la-lie
La-la-la-lie
La-la-lie to yourself?
[Verse 6]
I can promise myself tonight
I rehearsed and I know my lines
I can la-la-lie
La-la-la-lie
La-la-lie to myself
Oh, I la-la-lie
La-la-la-lie
Keep lying to myself
Can you la-la-la-lie
La-la-la-lie
Keep lying to yourself?
[Verse 7]
No, I know that I don't need help
There's a story for every time
Oh, I la-la-lie
La-la-la-lie
La-la-lie to myself
I can la-la-lie
La-la-la-lie
Keep lying to myself
Can you la-la-lie
La-la-la-lie
Keep lying to yourself?
