[Intro] I replay the words you said that night Every promise cracking in the quiet I tried to hold on, tried to believe But truth cuts deeper than you ever see [verse 1] Why do you lie when it serves no right Promises fade like the stars at night I see the truth in your hollow eyes Empty words just disguise disguise [pre-chorus] You say the things that sound so sweet But they crumble down at my feet [chorus] Why do you lie why do you lie Promises burn like a fire so high I know you don’t mean ’em I know it’s a game Just walk away walk away walk away [verse 2] Why do you lie when it’s all so clear Promises vanish like smoke in the air I hear the echoes of all you say Fading fast like a yesterday [pre-chorus] You say the things that sound so sweet But they crumble down at my feet [chorus] Why do you lie why do you lie Promises burn like a fire so high I know you don’t mean ’em I know it’s a game Just walk away walk away walk away [post-chorus] And I’m done trying to fix what you break Done carrying all of your weight [verse 3] Why do you lie when the truth is loud You hide your guilt underneath the crowd I gave you chances you threw aside Now all that’s left is the part of me that tried [pre-chorus] You say the things that sound so sweet But they crumble down at my feet [chorus] Why do you lie why do you lie Promises burn like a fire so high I know you don’t mean ’em I know it’s a game Just walk away walk away walk away [bridge] I held on longer than I should Tried to believe you’d change for good But every time I reached for you You pulled away like you always do Now I’m standing here with nothing left Just the pieces of the words you said [break] (soft guitar, breathing room, let it fall apart) [chorus] Why do you lie why do you lie Promises burn like a fire so high I know you don’t mean ’em I know it’s a game Just walk away walk away walk away [outro] So take your stories and take your blame I’m walking out and I won’t look back again Your empty promises fade into gray And I finally found the strength to walk away
