Lie Detector

She's a lie detector and I'm a deflector
Hiding behind my pride
Try not to run for cover because I love her
And I'm scared all of the time
Makes me wanna change until I'm a stranger
So she can't read my mind
She sees through me

Chasing me in my dreams, unraveling seams
She's pointing me at myself
Led me up to the attic, fighting the static
Blowing the dust off the shelf
Won't let me live in denial, makes me swear on the Bible
Wanna be anywhere else
She sees through me
Right through me

Take the words right out my mouth
Even ten feet underground
I could never hide enough
If I never let my guard down
Then I never have to find out
If to be seen is to be loved

I nervously laugh, my face is a mask
She's asking if I'm alright
I say, "Yeah, I'm fine, I think I'm just tired"
There's nothing on my mind
Everything that I think, like invisible ink
Written between the lines
She sees through me
Right through me

Take the words right out my mouth
Even ten feet underground
I could never hide enough
If I never let my guard down
Then I never have to find out
If to be seen is to be loved
