lyrics

am I ever gonna see myself staring in the mirror at somebody else?
a sullen image in a photograph
odd
odd
odd
don't want to be anomaly
slipping in and out of a memory
I want to tell you what you want to hear but,
it hurts to lie
it hurts to say it

back seat in a pickup truck
oh my God this can't be real
radio and tires squeal and oh my God
tell them something
tell them
I don't know
that I'm not here
that I'm not here
I tried to be what they wanted me to be
but I can't
and I can't keep faking it
cause it hurts to lie

so used to feeling paralyzed
trapped in this revery
all the things I think are right are wrong
how desperate am I to change that face to what I think it was?
I tried to be so long what I can't be
but I can't
no I can't keep faking it
it hurts to lie
it hurts to say it
