Song lyrics

Peel me apart, all my layers,
All of my fears, all my pride,
They say, "Laugh now, and cry later",
I can't ignore how I feel inside.

Laugh and the world will laugh, too,
Cry and the world laughs at you, girl,
So I lie to myself,
Let's be real, I'm afraid of how I feel
So I lie to my friends,
But they can tell
Just a shell of who I am when I lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.

I can barely breathe treading water,
Smile on my face while I'm turning blue.
Nobody cares, just work harder,
I do what I can to avoid the truth.

Laugh and the world will laugh, too,
Cry and the world laughs at you, girl,
So I lie to myself,
Let's be real, I'm afraid of how I feel
So I lie to the world,
They can see, they can see right through me when I lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.

Avoided faults and doubts mutate to poison,
Then loaded thoughts explode at ones I love,
I wanna face myself, but I keep running
To shifty patterns
I become when I lie.

So I lie to myself,
Let's be real, just afraid of how I feel,
So I lie to my friends
But you can tell
Just a shell of who I am when I lie
To the world,
They can see, they can see right through me when I lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.

I'm not complaining, I'm just chilling from not dealing with myself,
That's the villain in my soul,
Plus, I hate to ask for help.
I'm not complaining, I'm just chilling from not dealing with myself,
That's the villain in my soul,
Plus, I hate to ask for help.

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
