Lie

Daybreak

at the bottom of lake

it's a hundred degrees I can't breathe

And I won't get out

'til I figure it out

though I'm weak like I can't believe

So you tell me "trust me" I can trust you

just let me show you

But I gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt

'cause I don't know if I know you

Doing fine but don't waste my time

tell me what it is you want to say

You sin, you win, just let me in--hurry

I've been out in the rain all day

So you tell me "trust me" I can trust you as far as I can throw you

And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt

'cause I don't know if I know you

Don't tell me you wanted me

Don't tell me you thought of me

I won't, I swear I won't

(Did)

I'll try, I swear I'll try

(Lie)

Mother Mary quite contrary

kiss the boys and make them wary

things are getting just a little bit scarry

It's a wonder I can still breathe

Never been much of a doubting Thomas

but nothing breaks like a broken promise

You tell me 'bout your two more coming

but once is just enough for me

I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed

She comes in apparently to fill the void

All dogs need a leash and at least I'll forget it

And she would never hurt me though she's never said it

But I'm not gonna ask her today

I don't wanna scare her away

Your town, I'm all alone

and I just can't stare at the phone

I wanna talk about lifelong mistakes

and you can tell your stepfather I said so
