Are you ready
To be part of all the little games you play?
Hands are steady through it all.
You test the water,
It’s safe to swim so you wade in and you jump out.
He’s been drowning through it all.
If he could scream, then he just might say:

“Give me something better to hold on to.
I think it’s safe to say I got a little bit on you
I can’t take it.
Can you look me in the eye?
Reason to believe there’s something more that’s inside you.
I’ve got a funny feeling that I’m gonna find out soon
cause I know you lied.”

Now he’s shaking
And she’s all smiles cause she worked her way back in.
He’s got questions so he asks,
and she says,
“I’m sorry sweetheart but I just can’t talk right now.
I’ve got somewhere to be, can’t you figure it out?”
And he’s starting to shout, and he’s starting to shout:

“Give me something better to hold on to.
I think it’s safe to say I got a little bit on you
And I can’t take it.
Can you look me in the eye?
Reason to believe there’s something more that’s inside you.
I’ve got a funny feeling that I’m gonna find out soon
cause I know you lied."

So when I see you,
I just can’t fathom what you put him through
And those stories that you told
To make them feel for you
And give you sympathy where it’s not due,
It’s far from the truth.

Give me something better to hold on to.
I think it’s safe to say I got a little bit on you
And I can’t take it.
Can you look me in the eye?
Reason to believe there’s something more that’s inside you.
I’ve got a funny feeling that I’m gonna find out soon
cause I know you lied.
Know you lied!
