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
