Lyrics

You're a liar but I like you a lot
I've got a crush on all the things that you're not
Take it in stride, you never know what gets lost
Careful, boy, it's gonna cost all you've got

You're a liar but I think that you're cool
Careless covering you like a tattoo
Sealed in tight you hope you never get caught
Careful, boy, because it's gonna get hot

A piece of fiction, yeah, a real piece of work
A friendly face and then a faceless jerk
I know you care and that's why I care
But it's because you're gone that I'm always here

Line up for tickets to your life's matinee
You throw the show of your life everyday
You're selling out because you sleep better bought
I buy it up because your show's what I watch

And when your ghosts leave us alone in the room
The man in me brings out the woman in you
You tell me I'm perfect, brush the hair from my eyes
But nothing's perfect and now I know that you lie

You're a liar but I like you a lot
I make believe so I can play in your plot
Being with you has turned me into a fraud
Careful, boy, it's gonna cost all you've got

Careful, boy, it's gonna cost all you've got
Careful, boy, it's gonna cost all you've got
