Tell a Lie

Oh, my heart beats like a drum
In and out of time
Oh, it's the syncopated blood
In these veins of mine
And I can taste you in my lungs
Everywhere I go
And maybe you're the lucky one
But I wouldn't know

So, how long can we hide
Our brokenness?
'Cause once you tell a lie it never ends
Oh, and every time we try
To make amends
Oh, it all comes crashing down upon our heads
Oh

And there's a longing innocence
To sweep you off your feet
But I'm stood here motionless
'Cause there's too much history

So, how long can we hide
Our brokenness?
'Cause once you tell a lie it never ends
Oh, and every time we try
To make amends
Oh, it all comes crashing down upon our heads

So, how long can we hide
Our brokenness?
'Cause once you tell a lie it never ends
And every time we try
To make amends
Oh, it all comes crashing down upon our heads

So, how long can we hide
Our brokenness?
'Cause once you tell a lie it never ends
And every time we try
To make amends
Oh, it all comes crashing down upon our heads
