I Always Know

You're treated like the world's most wanted criminal Lock 'em up and throw away the key Not everything has to be so cynical Why can't you just be real with me? It's the way your gaze keeps on moving away And you can't help but laugh when you say you're okay It's the subtle shift you think I don't see Well, I always know when you're lying to me When you lie to me You're only lying to yourself When you lie to me You're only crying out for help 'Cause I always know (I always know) You say you hate your day job 'Cause you're living for a pay stub You're so tired of mediocrity Now we're laying on the carpet In your one-bedroom apartment Saying happiness is the company you keep Yeah right It's the way your gaze keeps moving away And you can't help but laugh when you say you're okay It's the subtle shift you think I don't see Well, I always know when you're lying to me When you lie to me You're only lying to yourself When you lie to me You're only crying out for help It's another night when you just can't sleep It's another shower, it's another drink It's another walk with no place to be I always know when you're lying to me When you lie to me You're only lying to yourself When you lie to me You're only crying out for help 'Cause I always know (ooh) I always know Yeah, I always know
