I think you'll know this one

Too long, since you lied

You're bout’ due for something new

Do you choose to be this blind

Or is it a clever disguise?

Are you burning inside

Or are you just in doubt?

Better cool it or you’ll lose it

Times still runs

And don't you know it doesn’t stop for you

But I've only just learned

That you hide the truth so well

You spin all the liesss

Leaving us fools

Your words slipped right through

Oooohh!

If I only knew

That nothing you said was true

Too long, since you lied

You gotta give me something new

Everything you said that night

Led me to see you in the real light

You just got ahead of yourself

Now the real colors start to show

I’ve realised that I need to let go

Now I know

What I always should have knownnn!

But I've only just learned

That you hide the truth so well

You spin all the liesss

Leaving us fools

Your words slipped right through

Woah-oh!

If I only knew

Oooohh!

yeah, If I only knew

That nothing you said was true?

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-woah-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-woah-oh-Woahhhh

But I've only just learned

That you hide the truth so well

You spin all the liesss

Leaving us fools

Your words slipped right through

Oooohh!

If I only knew

Oh, had I only knew

That nothing you said was true?

Nothing you said was

Thank you New York!

You've been wonderful!

GOODNIGHT!
