There's a liar in your bed
And there's a shotgun to your head
You can't breathe but you can smoke

You can't cry
But you can joke about it
VERSE:
You can drink yourself to chills
You can hide your little pills
As your life slowly explodes
You can believe nobody knows about it
BREAK:

Do you think that you're the only one
E D
Who's losing their minds

D A A

With all your secrets in the sheets
As you solemnly refuse
The very spark that lights your fuse
