View the lyrics
Here's the deal
Open your eyes
Don't say a word
I'll tell you why
You're living a lie
But you deny, you ever lied

Wondering why
Bury your life
Count your friends
On your hands
Now look again
They're not your friends

Hold your breath
Everyone left
No surprise
Living a lie

Tell your wife
This is your life
This is your wife
Now she knows, she understands

Her life is a lie
Nobody wins
Try not to cry
You'll survive
On your own (on your own)

Lessons in life

Now there's no time

Wondering why
Where in the world
Is that girl?
He knows it's alright
To live a life
Waiting to die

Not knowing that
Wondering why
Nobody writes
Hollow inside
Periods in light
Fire and ice
On your own

One more time
On your own, one more time
Writer(s): Ben Goldwasser, Andrew Vanwyngarden Lyrics powered by www.musixmatch.com
