I can't go along with it You can say just what you like But you still did it You backtrack and change your act At a hundred likes a minute But fool as I am I won't go along with it Am I confused, am I a crazy person You say it's old news She doesn't mean nothing But don't you understand that I am heartbroken No matter what you do You just can't make it untrue You're breathing lies I want to believe in When I'm watching you walk out the door I could fall through the floor But I can't go along with it You can say just what you like But you still did it You backtrack and change your act At a hundred lies a minute But fool as I am I won't go along with it Too much to lose and it's still raining I know it's not a game So I'll stop playing But oh my heart's on fire And it keeps burning And I don't mean to cry It's just the smoke gets in my eyes You're breathing lies I want to believe in When I'm watching you walk out the door I could fall through the floor But I can't go along with it You can say just what you like But you still did it You backtrack and change your act At a hundred lies a minute But fool as I am I won't go along with it Let the battle drum start I wanna turn back the clock I wanna find the missing pieces Of the whole love I lost You say it like you mean it And I wand to believe it Because I can't stop this feeling But I can't go along with it You can say just what you like But you still did it You backtrack and change your act At a hundred lies a minute But fool as I am I won't go along with it
