The things I've almost told you
All the things I've thought about you
It takes all my strength to face you, to hold still
And when you give me your attention
Things get lost in translation, again
Tell you I don't love you at all, but I do love you

I don't want to be a liar
But I do it every day
I don't want to be so tired
But I can't sleep any way

Don't believe the things they tell you they lie
Don't believe the things they tell you, no

The thing my mother told me was that everyone would love me
But in the dark I feel so lonely, I'm numb
She said it with so much conviction
But I feel like something's missing, again
Oh, I don't love me at all, I don't love me

I don't want to be a liar
But I do it every day
I don't want to be so tired
But I can't sleep any way

Don't believe the things they tell you they lie
Don't believe the things they tell you, no

I'm a liar, no one believe me
I'm a liar, no one believe me
Don't believe the things they tell you
Don't believe the things they tell you
Don't believe the things I tell you
I lie
Don't believe the things I tell you, no
