There's no reason 
There's no compromise 
Change in seasons 
Living the high life 
I don't know you 
So don't freak on me 
I can't control you
You're not my destiny

Straight out of line 
I can't find a reason 
Why I should justify my ways 
Straight out of line 
I don't need a reason 
You don't need to lie to me

I'll confess this you're my tragedy
I paid you to rest this 
As fast as you turned on me 
Gone for ever 
Vanished the memories 
This face of pleasure 
Are masked by your misery

Straight out of line 
I can't find a reason 
Why I should justify my ways 
Straight out of line 
I don't need a reason 
You don't need to lie to me
Lie to me

Straight out of line 
I can't find a reason 
Why I should justify my ways 
Straight out of line 
I don't need a reason 
You don't need to, don't need to lie to me

Lie to me 
Lie to me 
Lie to me
