oh hush my dear it's been a difficult year

and terrors don't prey

on innocent victims

trust me darlin'trust me darlin'

it's been a loveless year

i'm a man of three fears

integrity faith and crocodile tears

trust me darlin'trust me darlin'

so look me in the eyes tell me what you see

perfect paradise tearing at the seams

i wish i could escape i don't want to fake it

i wish i could erase it make your heart believe

but i'm a bad liar bad liar

now you know now you know

i'm a bad liar bad liar

now you know you're free to go

did all my dreams never mean one thing

does happiness lie in a diamond ring

oh i've been asking for

oh i've been asking for problems problems problems

i wage my war on the world inside

i take my gun to the enemy's side

oh i've been asking for

oh i've been asking for problems problems problems

so look me in the eyes

tell me what you see

perfect paradise

tearin at the seams

i wish i could escape

i don't wanna fake it

wish i could erase it

make your heart believe

but i'm a bad liar

that i'm a bad liar
