Yeah Lies Look at me now just sitting here by myself And I think you found someone else Now I'm gonna have to find a way to put the bottle down And why can't you see that I'm drowning in a pool of misery? I'm always afraid that you're gone Away from me I'm always afraid that you're lost in Somebody I'm always afraid that you're gone Away from me I'm always afraid that you're lost So here I am I want to be my myself And I think you're fucking someone else Now I'm gonna have to find a way to take the knife out of my back And how could you leave me Stranded in a closet full of puddles? I'm always afraid that you're gone Away from me I'm always afraid that you're lost in Somebody I'm always afraid that you're gone Away from me I'm always afraid that you're lost Maybe you could let me stay Maybe just for one more day You could help me stay the same Maybe things won't ever change Maybe we could taste the rain You could push me out the way Now I sit here by myself Think about somebody else How could you let them take you away from me? (There's somebody else, there's somebody else) I'm always afraid that you're gone Away from me I'm always afraid that you're lost in Somebody I'm always afraid that you're gone Away from me I'm always afraid that you're I'm always afraid I'm always afraid I'm always afraid I'm always afraid I'm always afraid I'm always afraid I'm always afraid Away from me
