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 cruel 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
