[Verse 1] If you lie to me You’re only lying to yourself I can read your face Like a note left on the shelf You talk in circles Then you bite at every truth When I call you on it You swing at the mirror, not at me, boo [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the fight I see what’s in your eyes You build it up so high Then watch it fall tonight [Chorus] Lying to yourself Lying to yourself You get mad, you get mad But it’s not really me Lying to yourself Lying to yourself I don’t take it personal I know what’s underneath [Verse 2] You flip the script quick When the facts get in the room Throw your hands up Like the truth came way too soon I stay calm, stay close Let your anger burn and fade ’Cause the heat you bring Is the hurt you couldn’t name [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the fight I see what’s in your eyes You build it up so high Then watch it fall tonight [Chorus] Lying to yourself Lying to yourself You get mad, you get mad But it’s not really me Lying to yourself Lying to yourself I don’t take it personal I know what’s underneath [Bridge] You can point that finger But it circles back around What you won’t confess Keeps you pulling people down Take a breath Say it plain If you want the truth Don’t dress it up as pain [Chorus] Lying to yourself Lying to yourself You get mad, you get mad But it’s not really me Lying to yourself Lying to yourself I don’t take it personal I know what’s underneath
