They love you while you're out there

Painted gold

But under the lights I see you actin'

In the scene alone

And as the credits are rollin' by

I ask myself

Who is the girl I lie beside



[Chorus:]

I lie awake

and I can't seem to lift my head up

All this weight

Has got me underneath your thumb

And I'm not gunna hurt anymore

I rely on you to lie to me some more



I've bitten off more than I care

To ever chew

I'm losing myself. I am too wrapped

Up in you

As you deliver me your lines

I ask myself

Are you in character this time?



[Chorus:]

I lie awake

and I can't seem to lift my head up

All this weight

Has got me underneath your thumb

And I'm not gunna hurt anymore

I rely on you to lie to me some more



Who is the girl behind all the lies?

Who is the girl?

Who is the girl?



They love you while you're out there

Painted gold

But under the lights, I see you actin'

Alone



[Chorus:]

I lie awake

and I can't seem to lift my head up

All this weight

Has got me underneath your thumb

And I'm not gunna hurt anymore

I rely on you to lie to me some more
