you said it yourself boy, that you're a liar

you said it yourself boy, that you're a liar
a chronic, to tell the truth, you go so far when even you can't tell if the story's real
but i never said they were believable
and i never said i believed them all
so when the apologies come pouring out, like so many times before,
i know that i'll just say, 'i'll be okay'
and it's a lie

cause to tell the truth, it takes a little more out of me each time
you can tell me you love me, you can tell me you care, but it won't make up for the thousand lies you've told before

boy, you're a terrible liar
and i'm just a mistaken young heart
we make a fearsome duo
but an awful pair

i wear my false heart on my sleeve to protect what real inside
you'd never know it, cause i've got my own secrets and lies
but i'm like a fox, and i've got my own back covered
cause you'd never know, everything i keep inside
or was it, you'd never care?
all of those apologies are just more lines, to get me to lie down, for you
and you thought i never knew it, you thought i never picked up on your tricks

well you're a simple teenage boy
with a simple teenage mind
and i figured it out, and it wasn't that hard, to be quite honest

cause boy, you're a terrible liar
and i'm just a mistaken young heart
we make a fearsome duo
but an awful pair
