Lies

I grew up right ‘round here
But they don’t want to know me now
And I don’t know what to do
Now that I’ve found out you’re talking me down

I should have figured it out
When you couldn’t stay awake to see me off
I remember your Mama said
You can’t get to sleep at night telling lies

The train ride is so cold now
There’s no one with a warm hello
But I don’t mind so much
I guess I’m doomed here to being alone

You spread ‘em ‘round and in all the wrong places
Just to hear ‘em on the lips of the very same faces
You can’t trust with their own lives
For telling lies

See it got off on a rolling start
I let it carry on that way
I never thought I’d get blown apart
By something that I didn’t even say

I should have figured it out
When you couldn’t stay awake to see me off
I remember your Mama said
You can’t get to sleep at night telling lies
