Moving On

Well my heart was set on you,
But you were just so cold,
At your worst you'd smile and smirk,
I must have missed the joke,
Yeah I was so confused,
That I lost all control
For I gave you everything you asked,
You did not want to know, oh...

Lies,
I must not tell lies.

Now the birds cant hold a tune,
An I'm sleeping on the floor,
With the dust and dirt, my lesson learned,
You cut me to the core,
I was beaten black and blue,
I was bloodied by your claws,
So in my room I'll lick my wounds, 
An pray that you get yours,

Lies,
I must not tell lies.

Lies

Another nameless social event,
Here I am surrounded by your friends,
I don't know quite how to talk to them,
And I can't play pretend,
Than when they talk of money like it grows on trees,
And other people they know like me,
I don't start to wonder if I am a novelty,
An just, what is it that you see?

I'm the just anyone,
You're the one in a million,
An I've never been so good at mathematics,

Same mother tongue, how different they curl,
You sound like a poet, I slur my words,
Sometimes when talking I seem to go unheard,
Or say something foolish and feel my cheeks burn, 
When they talk of all the things they have got,
They seem to be all of the things I have not,
And just as I'm fighting the urge to sneak off,
There you are, there you are, it just stops,

I'm the just anyone,
You're the one in a million,
An I've never been so good at mathematics,
I'm the just anyone,
You're the social chameleon, 
I've never been so good at mathematics.

Mathematics

I tell tales tall as cliffs
You've got a lisp
Kid, those things are hard to miss
Like my cripple cough
All your weekends lost by the lake
Where you said I needn't be afraid
Of all those devils on the wall
That make a fella small
When he's feelin' brave
They take his wine away
There were posters on the wall
I swear my mother saw
That I'd been up all night, up all night

And you came well-equipped
With a gun on your hip
And some poison on your lips
But when we wake up in our makeup
We'll be clean
And we won't have nowhere to be

Oh, but I can't talk to you
The way I've wanted to
I've been tellin' lies
But I'll tell you the truth
Oh, I can't talk to you
The way I've wanted to
I've been tellin' lies
But I'll tell you the truth

Darling, I'm tired
And I should be leaving, leaving
You know I'm tired
And I should be leaving, leaving tonight

Darling, I'm tired
And I should be leaving, leaving
You know I'm tired
And I should be leaving

And you'll hang like the rest
We'll leave a noose on the attorney's desk
And take to the streets
Chant like an army
And doctor up this disease
