Walking a line
I try to walk a straight line
But I’m stoned
Counting the lies
I've been counting the lies
That I've told
Remember what you said
In that cold condescending tone
There’s good in everyone
I knew you just couldn't leave it alone
Tried my best but couldn't change
You said you’d love me anyways
But in a voice so soft it shouts
I could hear the doubt
As you crushed my cigarette out
Walking a line
I try to walk a straight line
But I’m stoned
Counting the lies
I've been counting the lies
That I've told
Repeating what you said
And I tried so hard not to laugh
You barricaded the front door
And I escaped out the back
Tried my best but couldn't change
You said you’d love me anyways
But in a voice so soft it shouts
I could hear the doubt
As you crushed my cigarette out
