Oh, hush, my dear, it's been a difficult year
And terrors don't prey on innocent victims (ooh)
Trust me, darlin', trust me, darlin'
It's been a loveless year, I'm a man of three fears
Integrity, faith, and crocodile tears
Trust me, darlin', trust me, darlin'
Look me in the eyes, tell me what you see
Perfect paradise, tearin' at the seams
I wish I could escape it, I don't wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it, make your heart believe
But I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go
Did all my dreams never mean one thing?
Does happiness lie in a diamond ring?
Oh, I've been asking for
Oh, I've been asking for problems, problems, problems
I wage my war on the world inside
I take my gun to the enemy's side
Oh, I've been asking for (trust me, darlin')
Oh, I've been asking for problems, problems, problems (trust me, darlin')
So, look me in the eyes, tell me what you see
Perfect paradise, tearin' at the seams
I wish I could escape it, I don't wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it, make your heart believe
But I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go
I can't breathe, I can't be
I can't be what you want me to be
Believe me this one time
Believe me
I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh
Please believe me, please believe me
