lyrics

i'm headed straight for the door
i'd better leave before i get what i've been asking for
i think i've been figured out
look out the window for you turning around
footsteps outside my door
her clothes are still on the floor

i swear it's not what you think

everybody knows that i don't get along honesty
but honestly
i'm a cheat, i'm a thief
you say you're gonna leave
are you breaking me
or baby replacing me
just because you know that i can't tell the truth
doesn't mean that i'm lying to you

this was over before it began
i thought you already knew how this was all gonna end
i'd say i'm sorry but it's a little too late
nothings gonna change the look on your face
i swear it's not what you think

everybody knows that i don't get along honesty
but honestly
i'm a cheat, i'm a thief
you say you're gonna leave
are you breaking me
or baby replacing me
just because you know that i can't tell the truth
doesn't mean that i'm lying to you
just because you know that i can't tell the truth
doesn't mean i'm not trying to

so here we go again
i swear she's just a friend
and i keep digging deeper in the grave
you've got me lying in
she wants me and i want more
you're not worth waiting for

everybody knows that i don't get along honesty
but honestly
i'm a cheat, i'm a thief
you say you're gonna leave
are you breaking me
or baby replacing me
just because you know that i can't tell the truth
doesn't mean that i'm lying to you
just because you know that i can't tell the truth
doesn't mean that i'm lying to you
just because you know i can't be true to you
doesn't mean i'm not trying to
