Lyrics: WHAT DO I SEE BEHIND THOSE EYES
WHO'S THAT SO CLEVERLY DISGUISED
TRUTH HURTS OR SO THEY SAY
BUT A FOOL DIES A THOUSAND WAYS

AND I KNOW THE BLINDING CHARM OF THE WAY YOU MAKE THINGS SEEM
BUT ALARMS ARE RINGING AND I'M WIDE AWAKE IN THIS LAND OF DREAMS

HOW LONG DID YOU THINK YOU COULD HIDE IT
HOW FAR DID YOU THINK I'D GO
NOW THAT I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU KNOW
YOU SAY YOU'RE INNOCENT
BUT YOU'RE NOT SO INNOCENT

SWEET HONEY'S DRIPPING FROM YOUR LIPS
YOU'RE LIKE THE THIEF THAT NEVER SLIPS
ONE DAY YOU MAY CONFESS
BUT TIL THEN DO WHAT YOU THINK BEST
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO YOU THAN YOU'RE WILLING TO REVEAL
BUT THIS GAME YOU'RE PLAYING IS SO OUTRAGEOUS - IT'S SO UNREAL

CH:
HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO HIDE IT
HOW FAR WILL YOU MAKE ME GO
YOU STRING ME ALONG BUT ONE THING WE BOTH KNOW
YOU SAY YOU'RE INNOCENT
BUT YOU'RE NOT SO INNOCENT
(SOLO)

IN YOUR TANGLED WEB THERE'S SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE ME
YOU BETTER CHECK AGAIN CUZ YOU'RE NEVER SURE OF WHAT YOU THINK YOU SEE

ONE DAY YOU WILL HAVE TO FACE ME
ONE DAY IT'LL ALL COME CLEAN
I'LL WAIT FOR THAT DAY TO HAPPEN
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT FINAL SCENE

HOW LONG DID YOU THINK YOU COULD HIDE IT
HOW FAR DID YOU THINK I'D GO
NOW THAT I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU KNOW
YOU SAY YOU'RE INNOCENT

BUT YOU'RE NOT SO INNOCENT
