So speak!
I hear the words and I look away.
I hear your words and I turn to say,
"Read my lips, I"m done with it.
And read my lips, I"m done with this."
I'm not as good as you think,
Oh, I'm not as bad as you believe.
And I'm not as good as you think,
I lie somewhere in between.
'Cause there are better things,
And there are worse things.
How could I look you in the eyes,
Then repeat, repeat?
Where is truth but hidden behind a lying tongue?
Oh, and how can this grace come to a failing one?
I wander around, aimlessly searching,
But all that I"ve found is nothing is working.
You told me again, and over again,
But I won"t hear you, I"ll find my own way.
Read the lines between the lines
And see this life behind these eyes.
We are seeing through the lies you're leading.
You are sinking in the ship you're keeping.
[x4]
Well, you give me everything
And I give you nothing in return.
And you, you give me everything,
And I give you, I give you nothing, nothing.
I give you nothing, nothing. [x2]
I know, and you know,
I"m a failure, I"m a fraud.
Leave me to drown.
I hear the words and I look away.
I hear your words and I turn to say,
"Read my lips, I"m done with it.
And read my lips, I"m done with this."
I'm not as good as you think,
Oh, I'm not as bad as you believe.
And I'm not as good as you think,
