I'm a coward

I hide behind all of these delicate lies that I sing

But I'm trying to come clean



I'm so lonely

Surrounded by people that know me,

But don't know a thing

So I'm trying to come clean.



And every relationship I've ever been in

Has fallen apart at the seams

I'm just afraid I've been singing about love,

But I'll never find out what it means

And if I was honest about what the problem is,

I'd have to admit that it's me

I'm just trying to live up to all that you want me to be



I'm a liar

I sing pretty things

But I never quite say what I mean

So I'm trying to come clean



I'm so sorry

I know that I can't take it back

No I can't change a thing

So I'm trying to come clean



And every relationship I've ever been in

Has fallen apart at the seams

I'm just afraid I've been singing about love,

But I'll never find out what it means

And if I was honest about what the problem is,

I'd have to admit that it's me

I'm just trying to live up to all that you want me to be
