Where Do Liars Go Adam?

No question, you’re untruthful
But I think Its easier not to know
Investigation brings bitter feelings
So I think I’ll leave this one alone

Tonight, wasn’t meant for finding out
It was meant for drinking too much
And lying to myself, over and over again
I’m lying way too much

To myself
I know the truth
You’re dishonest     
You’re a liar

And you’re lying to my face (over and over again)
You lied to me every time you said … ( I love you)
Every time you swore, up and down, that you would never leave           
That you’d stay, by my side, all of it, was all a lie

No answers, you’re just buying
Time till you can find a way to go
Slow departation brings harder endings
So please shut up and go

Tonight, wasn’t meant for finding out
It was meant for giving in and
And lying to myself, over and over again
Don’t you love when I give in

To myself
I know the truth
You’re dishonest         
You’re a liar

And you’re lying to my face (over and over again)
You lied to me every time you said … ( I love you)
Every time you swore, up and down, that you would never leave          
That you’d stay, by my side, all of it, was all a lie

Your lying to me
Your holding back
And I am lying…
To Myself
(over and over again)
To Myself
(I still love you)
To Myself
(you swore on your life)
To Myself
(so kill yourself)
And make good on your word….
