Lyrics
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
'Til the voided faults and doubts mutate to poison
And 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
