I Always Know

(专辑： Say It Like You Mean It - 2022)

You treat it like the world's most wanted criminal
Lock him up and throw away the key
Not everything has to be so cynical
Why can't you just be real with me

It's the way your gaze
Keeps on moving away
And you can't help but laugh
When you say you're okay
It's the subtle shift
You think I don't see
Well I always know
When you're lying to me

When you lie to me
You're only lying to yourself
When you lie to me
You're only crying out for help
Cause I always know
I always know

You say you hate your day job
Cause you're living for a pay stub
You're so tired of mediocrity
Now we're laying on the carpet
In your one bedroom apartment
Saying "happiness is the company you keep"
Yeah right

It's the way your gaze
Keeps on moving away
And you can't help but laugh
When you say you're okay
It's the subtle shift
You think I don't see
Well I always know
When you're lying to me

When you lie to me
You're only lying to yourself
When you lie to me
You're only crying out for help

It's another night
Where you just can't sleep
It's another shower
It's another drink
It's another walk
With no place to be
I always know
When you're lying to me

When you lie to me
You're only lying to yourself
When you lie to me
You're only crying out for help
Cause I always know
I always know
Yeah I always know
