You were wondering why
I just can't talk about anything
Is it because
I just can't talk to you
Would you prefer
To talk at length about anything
Just to keep you from starting to cry
You're wondering why
You get no satisfaction
Is it because
You just can't sleep at night
Or would you prefer
Some non-stop no-love action
Just to keep you from wondering why
I'm living a lie
I'm just living a lie
I'm living a lie
I'm just living a lie
And if I keep on living
The way I have been living
You will come to me and say all has been forgiven
But I didn't do anything wrong
I've just been living a lie too long, too long
You were wondering why
I keep up this illusion
Is it because
I hurt too much to hurt
Or would you prefer
We act like nothing's happening
Just to keep you from living a lie
I'm living a lie
I'm just living a lie
I'm living a lie
I'm just living a lie
