Story Behind The Song

You can tell it how you want to.

Song Description

It's your lie...

Lyrics

I spent all my time trying to read your mind
Bending every truth just to stay in line
Chasing every spark that you called a sign
Now I see it clear, it was all designed

You were painting gold over fragile clay
Calling every loss just a different way
I was standing still while you led the play
Now I watch it fade in the light of day

I don't need the story you sell
I can see the rise and the fall of the spell
It's your lie, tell it how you want to
I'm above the game, and I feel bad for you

I don't need the lines that you use
I can hear the cracks in the words that you choose
It's your lie, tell it how you want to
I'm above the game, and I feel bad for you

I was chasing echoes, calling them truth
Trying to find meaning in the shape of you
Now the signal cuts and the noise is through
Everything you said never quite rang true

You were building walls out of borrowed flame
Every little shift just a different name
I was playing along in a losing game
Now I step away and I leave the frame

I stepped out, I saw it through
Everything changed when I saw the view

I don't need the story you sell
I can see the rise and the fall of the spell
It's your lie, tell it how you want to
I'm above the game, and I feel bad for you

I don't need the lines that you use
I can hear the cracks in the words that you choose
It's your lie, tell it how you want to
I'm above the game, and I feel bad for you

It's your lie, tell it how you want to
Paint it bright, sell it like you ought to
It's your lie, tell it how you need to
I'm too high above it now to believe you

It's your lie, tell it how you want to
It's your lie, dress it how you ought to
It's your lie, tell it how you want to
It's your lie, say it till it haunts you
Oh no, no, no

I don't need the story you sell
I can see the rise and the fall of the spell
It's your lie, tell it how you want to
I'm above the game, and I feel bad for you

I don't need the lines that you use
I can hear the cracks in the words that you choose
It's your lie, tell it how you want to
I'm above the game, and I feel bad for you
