confidence trick lyrics

Never meant to hurt you, I don't know why
You come with your lawyers and your alibi
How can you look me straight in the eye
When you know

The clock on the wall is singing our song
The love in my heart is all dead and gone
You know why
You know why

There you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie

I never really knew you all these years
You lied to my face while I undressed your fears
Then you set me a-sail on an ocean of tears
Said goodbye

The clock on the wall is ticking real slow
There's nothing to say and there's nowhere to go
You know why
You know why

There, there you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit, no no
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie

It's a lie

Looking up to the truth of what you are
Blinding all colours and beauty
And the sparkle in your eye is blinding

The clock on the wall is singing our song
The love in my heart is all dead and gone
You know why
You know why
Why, why, why, why, why, why

There, there you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie
It's a lie, lie

(the truth is, the truth is a lie)
(repeats in background)

And you never stopped loving me
Choaking back tears for you
So lovable
And we never go
And we never know
See I'm over
But I'm under
I don't ever wanna come down
I don't ever wanna come down
I don't ever wanna come down
To where you are
