Tell a lie
That's enough
Give me a story you've made up
And I'll forgive you

I don't care
What you said I said
It's all in your head
I'll never get you

And you're talking these things through
Like you know what you've been through
But there's not a lot of reason
In the things that we believe in
So, I'll believe in you

[c]
I am on the outside of truth
And I'm looking in on you
But you're staining this town with fighting

And I'm honest as a photo booth
I'm just playing off of you
But you're leaving me fast as lightning
You're leaving me just to spite me

Babe, it must be hard living in a castle
Counting Daddy's money must be a hassle
Proudly you can't abide
I probably should live a lie

But I've been taught that there's something more
To living life than knowing scores
I'm proud to say I'm honest
I'm proud to say I'm right

[c]

Time out
I don't need this drama
But I will take you back any day...

And I'm out
All out of things to argue
But I will take you on any day

I will take you on...

[c]
