Lie Your Way to the Truth

First, you weren't paying attention
Building up your double life
But the bottom fell out of your conscience
And your smile doesn't reach your eyes
The smile doesn't reach your eyes

You can lie your way to the truth
Can you swallow the way it tastes?
Try and lie your way to the truth
Never pay for the things you say
Hey, look at you

Crying wolf, and the wolf's at your door
Hey, look at you
Lying 'til you can't even tell the truth
From your lies anymore

First, I wasn't paying attention
When you showed me who you really are
Underneath the shiny illusion
Was a rot underneath the floor
Right down to the core

You can lie your way to the truth
Can you swallow the way it tastes?
Try and lie your way to the truth
Never pay for the things you say
Hey, look at you
Crying wolf, 'til the wolf's at your door
Hey, look at you
Lie until you can't even tell the truth
From your lies anymore

You've been running, but your luck ran out
Deceiving wherever you go
You lie awake in your empty house
Now you know, now you know (oh-oh, oh-oh-)

You can lie your way to the truth
Can you swallow the way it tastes?
Try and lie your way to the truth
Never pay for the things you say
Hey, look at you

Crying wolf, 'til the wolf's at your door
Hey, look at you
Lie until you can't even the truth
From your lies anymore

Can you lie, lie your way to the truth?
You can lie
You can lie, oh-oh, lie your way to the truth
