We Lied to Each Other - Olivia O'Brien

You say you built up walls
Baby, I built myself up a whole goddamn house
It's a hundred feet tall
So don't even try to break in
It's made to keep you out

Every time I let somebody in
They let me down, I kick 'em out again
And I build up the walls a little higher
So I'm sorry if I don't believe your sh_t
I just think I might be running out of bricks
'Cause it turns out that everyone's a liar

Like I lied when I said I don't care
And you lied when you told me you did
And we lied to each other and it isn't fair
We lied to each other
And I'd do it again

I know if I saw you right now
I would run away fast
Or say, "I just wanna be friends."
So you don't figure out that my walls are just glass

The problem is that there's a difference
You're a criminal and I am innocent
You're beautiful but the truth is ugly
I never had your bad intentions
I just kinda sorta didn't mention
That I want you 'cause I know you'll never love me

So I lied when I said I don't care
And you lied when you told me you did
And we lied to each other and it isn't fair
We lied to each other

The only explanation
For this sad situation is that I love to be in pain
I don't think I'm worthy
I don't think I'm deserving of love
That's why I play these games

So I lied when I said I don't care
And you lied when you told me you did
And we lied to each other and it isn't fair
We lied to each other

And we lied to each other
We lied to each other
We lied to each other
We lied to each other

And I'd do it again
