How can I lie when I?m looking at you?
How can I lie when I?m looking at you?

I?ve been living in oblivion
I?ve been hiding in make believe
Well these are fake tears I?m crying
Whatever I sell you?re buying

You know that I can play the part
I can improvise every line
Won?t let you see behind the mask, no
Don?t tell and I won?t ask

How can I lie when I?m looking at you?
How can I lie when I?m looking at you?
How can I hide what I know to be true?
How can I hide what I know to be true?

I wanna live, come on and breathe me into life
How can I lie when I?m looking at you
How can I lie when I?m looking at you

I?ve been holding on to my illusion
I?ve been playing you like a song
But pretending that you are mine
It feels so right, it can?t be wrong

And I?ve been sleeping with one eye open
I?ve been keeping you in the dark
But baby I?ve got a secret
Locked here inside my heart
