The First Time

No matter how you explain it
It doesn’t look good from where I’m standing
You can shuffle the blame up
But we know it could be a bumpy landing.

I don’t know, guess you wanna get out
And be with people while you scream and shout
Oh, why did I never doubt?

If you only believed all the lies that you told me
I wouldn’t even mind
It’s true, all you believe if you lie to me only
I couldn’t be so blind
I knew that to deceive you would try to control me
It wouldn’t be the first time.

Don’t even think that you mean it
You try to tell the truth but that’d be boring
A better vision, you’ve seen it
Who better than you to sell the story?

Don’t tell me about the places you go
And be with people that I’ve seen before
Oh, why did I wanna know?

If you only believed all the lies that you told me
I wouldn’t even mind
It’s true, all you believe if you lie to me only
I couldn’t be so blind
I knew that to deceive you would try to control me
It wouldn’t be the first time.

I remember the days exactly
Memory is a haze, you ask me
Wonders never amaze me
They just get me down.

If you only believed all the lies that you told me
I wouldn’t even mind
It’s true, all you believe if you lie to me only
I couldn’t be so blind
I knew that to deceive you would try to control me
It wouldn’t be the first time.
