lyrics

This place is a battleground
just look around
there ain't nothin' left

It's about time I left this place
packed up my bags and head out west

So please stop you're lying now
it's about time you told the truth
but you and I keep going on

Oh and we make believe
that we can live in harmony
but we know it's just a vicious lie

And that's why I cried
I felt like I'd died
and that's why I cried
I felt like I died

We make believe
that we can live in harmony
but we knew it was another lie

And now you know why
I can't look in your eye's
and now you know why
I can't look in your eye's
and it's no surprise

Please stop your lying now
pack up your things and leave me be
stop all your lyin' now
why can't you see you're in too deep
