Miguel - So I Lie
Yeah
Peel me apart, all my layers
All of my fears, all my pride (yeah)
They say, "Laugh now and cry later"
I can't ignore how I feel inside
(Lie, lie, lie) Laugh and the world will laugh too
(Lie, lie, lie) Cry and the world laughs at you, yeah
So I lie to myself
Let's be real
I'm afraid of how I feel
So I lie to my friends
But they can tell
I'm just the shell of who I am when I lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
(Lie, lie, lie) I can barely breathe, treading water
(Lie, lie, lie) Smile on my face while I'm turnin' blue
(Lie, lie, lie) Nobody cares, just work harder
(Lie, lie, lie) I do what I can to avoid the truth
(Lie, lie, lie) Laugh and the world will laugh too
(Lie, lie, lie) Cry and the world laughs at you, yeah
So I lie to myself
Let's be real
I'm afraid of how I feel
So I lie to the world
They can see
They can see right through me when I lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Until avoided faults and doubts mutate to poison
Then loaded thoughts explode at the ones I love
I wanna face myself but I keep running
To shifty patterns I become when
I lie to myself
Let's be real
Just afraid of how I feel
So I lie to my friends
But you can tell
I'm just the shell of who I am
When I lie to the world
They can see
They can see right through me when I lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
I'm not complaining
I'm just chilling from not dealing with myself
That's the villain in my soul
Plus I hate to ask for help
I'm not complaining
I'm just chilling from not dealing with myself
That's the villain in my soul
Plus I hate to ask for help
(I lie)
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(I lie)
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
