So I Lie

Peel me apart, all my layers

All of my fears, all my pride

They say, "Laugh now, and cry later"

I can't ignore how I feel inside

Laugh and the world will laugh, too

Cry and the world laughs at you, girl

So I lie to myself

Let's be real, I'm afraid of how I feel

So I lie to my friends

But they can tell

Just a shell of who I am when I lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

I can barely breathe treading water

Smile on my face while I'm turning blue

Nobody cares, just work harder

I do what I can to avoid the truth

Laugh and the world will laugh, too

Cry and the world laughs at you, girl

So I lie to myself

Let's be real, I'm afraid of how I feel

So I lie to the world

They can see, they can see right through me when I lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Avoided faults and doubts mutate to poison

Then loaded thoughts explode at ones I love

I wanna face myself, but I keep running

To shifty patterns

I become when I lie

So I lie to myself

Let's be real, just afraid of how I feel

So I lie to my friends

But you can tell

Just a shell of who I am when I lie

To the world

They can see, they can see right through me when I lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

I'm not complaining, I'm just chilling from not dealing with myself

That's the villain in my soul

Plus I hate to ask for help

I'm not complaining, I'm just chilling from not dealing with myself

That's the villain in my soul

Plus I hate to ask for help

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
