I've lied / to you
The same way that I always do
This is / the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you

[Everything falls apart / even the people who never frown / eventually break down]
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
[Everything has to end / you'll soon find we're out of time left
To watch it all unwind]
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

I've tried / like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is / the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
