| Once upon a time there was someone just like you
|
| Who lived without a care in the world, just a regular girl
|
| With a secret no one knew, or so the story goes
|
| You see the way her lips move
|
| Just trying to get in the groove
|
| You think you hear the truth, but the lies keep creeping in
|
| City lights illuminate
|
| Innocence, but it’s too late
|
| Cause I never wanted it to be this way
|
| Just know that I’ll always be here, no fear
|
| Let me make one thing clear
|
| That’s why you never see it coming
|
| Cause I could never see the lies behind those eyes
|
| So baby take off your disguise
|
| And you’ll see sunsets and starlit skies
|
| That’s why you never see it coming
|
| Confusion boiling, like the water that’s been heated
|
| Just like my temper when I needed some clarification
|
| But I got it now
|
| I found these skeletons inside your closet
|
| So tell me my friend what you think I should do?
|
| I am almost 100-percent positive
|
| That all these skeletons belong to you
|
| Tip-top in the bottom bag
|
| Is where she keeps her favorite mag
|
| And I won’t fall down in the murky mess of it all
|
| City lights illuminate
|
| Innocence, but it’s too late
|
| Cause I never wanted it to be this way
|
| Just know that I’ll always be here, no fear
|
| Let me make one thing clear
|
| That’s why you never see it coming
|
| Cause I could never see the lies behind those eyes
|
| So baby take off your disguise
|
| And you’ll see sunsets and starlit skies
|
| That’s why you never see it coming
|
| Confusion boiling, like the water that’s been heated
|
| Just like my temper when I needed some clarification
|
| But I got it now
|
| Take my hand, I’ll guide you there
|
| To a quiet place where no one stares
|
| It’s all you need to make your life complete
|
| Now that it’s all said and done
|
| All I ask of you is to be the one
|
| To never hide who you are inside
|
| City lights illuminate
|
| Innocence, but it’s too late
|
| Cause I never wanted it to be this way
|
| Just know that I’ll always be here, no fear
|
| Let me make one thing clear
|
| That’s why you never see it coming
|
| Cause I could never see the lies behind those eyes
|
| So baby take off your disguise
|
| And you’ll see sunsets and starlit skies
|
| That’s why you never see it coming
|
| Confusion boiling, like the water that’s been heated
|
| Just like my temper when I needed some clarification
|
| But I got it now |
