You're never worried
'bout the secrets you keep
Throwing your words around
so casually
Can't change you
I tried
You paint a pretty picture
you set the scene
Say what I wanna hear
don't mean a thing
But look me in the eye
Tell it how you want to
Make it all up
Dance around the truth
til you don't know
what's what
Til you believe
your version
of what happened
Make it my fault
if it makes you
feel better
You can be the hero
with a vendetta
Whatever helps you
fall asleep at night
It's your lie
Tell it how you want to
You always walk around
with your head so high
So quick to have
an answer an alibi
You think I'm so naive
But you're just so convinced
you're always right
Victim of circumstance
in your storyline
It's just make believe
Tell it how you want to
Make it all up
Dance around the truth
til you don't know
what's what
Til you believe
your version
of what happened
Make it my fault
if it makes you
feel better
You can be the hero
with a vendetta
Whatever helps you
fall asleep at night
It's your lie
Tell it how you want to
Tell it how you want to
Call your mama
Tell her she was right
Tell your friends
I started those fights
Tell yourself
I didn't mean goodbye
Tell it how you want to
Make it all up
Dance around the truth
til you don't know
what's what
Til you believe
your version
of what happened
Make it my fault
if it makes you
feel better
You can be the hero
with a vendetta
Whatever helps you
fall asleep at night
It's your lie
Tell it how you want to
Call your mama
Tell your friends
Tell it how you want to
Tell it how you want to
