Lying from you

© Linkin Park

When I pretend,
Everything is what
I want it to be,
I looked exactly like
What you always wanted to see
When I pretend,
I can’t forget about
The criminal I am
Stealing second after second
Just cause I know I can, but
I can’t pretend that this is
They way it will stay, I’m just
Lying to defend the truth
I can’t pretend of who
You want me to be so

Chorus:
I’m lying my way from you
Nah, no turning back now
I wanna be close beside so let me go
Nah, no turning back now
Let me take back my life
I’d rather be all alone
No turning back now
Anywhere on my own,

Cause I can see
The very worse part of you…
It's me

I remember what
They taught to me,
Remember condescending
Took for what
I ought to be
Remember listening
And all of that and this again
So I could turned it up
To the person who was feeling it
And now you think this person
Really is me and I
Trying to defend the truth
The more I push the more
I’m pulling away cause I’m

Chorus.

This isn’t what
I wanted to be,
I never thought what
I said would have you
Running from me
Like this

Chorus.
