BENEFIT OF LIES

{Verse 1}
I knew this moment would come, I'd start getting closer,
I'd start feeling numb.
I look in your face and forget what I'm lying about.

It's the story that everyone knows by heart,
When I open the door - baby - that's when it starts

{Chorus}
And you say

Why do you do me this way?
Why can't you just come home every night?
You believe when I say - I cannot live without you
That's one of the benefits

Of lies.

Do you do me this way?
Why can't you just come home every night?
You believe when I say - I cannot live without you
That's one of the benefits.

{Verse 2}
Radio off. Put my head
On the wheel. I'm
Searching my soul, I'm
Looking to deal with the
Things that I have done and
The things that I have failed to do
