You were wondering why I just can't talk about anything Is it because I just can't talk to you Would you prefer To talk at length about anything Just to keep you from starting to cry You're wondering why You get no satisfaction Is it because You just can't sleep at night Or would you prefer Some non-stop no-love action Just to keep you from wondering why I'm living a lie I'm just living a lie I'm living a lie I'm just living a lie And if I keep on living The way I have been living You will come to me and say all has been forgiven But I didn't do anything wrong I've just been living a lie too long, too long You were wondering why I keep up this illusion Is it because I hurt too much to hurt Or would you prefer We act like nothing's happening Just to keep you from living a lie I'm living a lie I'm just living a lie I'm living a lie I'm just living a lie
