You taught me all I know 
You opened up my eyes 
But now that I have grown 
You leave me no surprise 

I tell you I still care 
I say I want much more 
But I just grin and bear 
Until you're out the door 

Refrain 
I am lying 
It's a game I'm learning to play 
I am lying 
I'm too [bad word] to give it away 

Illusions are my crime 
They keep me insincere 
For now, i'll bide my time 
It's gonna end in tears 

Refrain 

How long can I pretend ? 
How long before I break ? 
Don't want a bitter end 
Is this a big mistake ? 

Refrain 

I am lying... 
I am lying...
