Oh, hush, my dear, it's been a difficult year

And terrors don't prey on innocent victims

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'



So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see

Perfect paradise tearing at the seams

I wish I could escape, I don't wanna fake

I 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



All my dreams never mean one thing

Does happiness lie in a diamond ring?

Oh, I've been askin' for

Oh, I've been askin' 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 askin' for (trust me, darlin')

Oh, I've been askin' for (trust me, darlin') problems

Problems, problems



So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see

Perfect paradise tearing at the seams

I wish I could escape, I don't wanna fake

I 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

Please believe me

Please believe me
