I'm A Liar
James Fauntleroy · Other Songs - James Fauntleroy
Cause you're not gonna break my heart
I know your bags ain't packed
You're better than that
I know you ain't trying to leave
I can hear you
I just can't handle the truth
Damn I know you're right
But i'm not ready to lose, ohh
Sitting here acting like this ain't gonna kill me
But it's killing me
Oh but what am I doing
And who am I fooling
I'm a liar
Make believer
Might be the world's biggest deceiver
I try to tell myself that I don't care at all
And I swear it helps to convince myself
That maybe love is not for me
If I say i'm okay
I'm a liar
I don't miss you
I'm okay being all alone
I don't need you hear
Infact i'm glad you're gone
I never loved you
No you never really broke my heart
Those were never real tears
I always knew i'd move on
Ohh oh
Sitting here acting like this ain't gonna kill me
But it's killing me
Oh but what am I doing
And who am I fooling
I'm a liar
Make believer
Might be the world's biggest deceiver
I try to tell myself that I don't care at all
And I swear it helps to convince myself
That maybe love is not for me
If I say i'm okay
I'm a liar
Ohh maybe i'm just a fool
Running from the truth
Little crazy hopelessly confused
Got nothing left to lose
I'm over you
I'm a liar
Make believer
Might be the world's biggest deceiver
I try to tell myself that I don't care at all
And I swear it helps to convince myself
That maybe love is not for me
If I say i'm okay
I'm a liar
If I say i'm okay
I'm a liar
