Confidence Trick

(album: Don't Mind If I Do - 1999)

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 asail
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
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
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
Your truth is
your truth is a lie
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
To where you are!
