Lying from You (Live in New York, 2008)

When I pretend Everything is what I want it to be I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see When I pretend I can forget about the criminal I am Stealing second after second just cause I know I can, but I can't pretend this is the way it will stay, I'm just Trying to bend the truth I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be So I'm Lying my way from you I want to be pushed aside So let me go (no, no turning back now) Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone (no turning back now) Anywhere on my own Cause I can see (no, no turning back now) The very worst part of you Is me I remember what they taught to me Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be Remember listening to all of that and this again So I pretended up a person who was fitting in And now you think this person really is me and I'm (trying to bend the truth) But the more I push The more I'm pulling away 'cause I'm Lying my way from you I want to be pushed aside So let me go (no, no turning back now) Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone (no turning back now) Anywhere on my own Cause I can see (no, no turning back now) The very worst part of you The very worst part of you Is me This isn't what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said Would have you running from me Like this This isn't what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said Would have you running from me Like this This isn't what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said Would have you running from me Like this This isn't what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said Would have you running from me Like this You (no turning back now) I want to be pushed aside So let me go (no, no turning back now) Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone (no turning back now) Anywhere on my own Cause I can see (no, no turning back now) The very worst part of you The very worst part of you Is me
