Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time 
until we're all found out
Take our tears, put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down 
to show you the light

We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well read and poised 
We're the best boys
We're the chemists who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say, don't believe a word

Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
I'll keep singing this lie 
I'll keep singing this lie 

Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time
until we're all found out
Take our tears, put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down 
to show you the light

We're traveled like gypsies
Only with worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old
We're the lifers here till the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way 
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts

Cause I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time 
until we're all found out
take our tears, put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down
to show you the light

There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And there's another around to help us 
bend your trust
I've got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay

The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie",
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up 

The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie",

Are we growing up or just going down?
