Paroles de Living A Lie

I'm living a lie because I can't tell the truth
There's a fire in the basement, A fire on the roof,
I'm just sittin' in my chair, wearin' a smile
I'm gonna manage to fit in after a while.

Didja Didja Didja
Did you get the news that I was lost at sea?
Hey hey hey
Somebody's confused, you know that couldn't be me!

I wasn't near that place, I don't know where it was
She didn't see my face, You know it's true because

[chorus]
I know why he sings, I know about these things
I know why it is caged,
So I don't know why I'm enraged.

I'm lyin' about my birth and I'm lyin' about my death
For all I'm worth, I lie with every breath
Lyin' homes are built on my crying habitations
It's the milk that I spilt, my undying lamentations

[repeat chorus]

[instrumental] Look what your bride's made, you know, you shouldn't have lied
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride,
You look what your bride's made, you know, you shouldn't have lied
