Crashing Down

Verse 1

You told me you were working late

Then your voice went up a little high

Something twitched behind your poker face

I could read it in your eyes

Pre-Chorus

You practiced in the mirror

You rehearsed it in the car

But your hands keep giving answers

That your mouth can't quite guard

Chorus

You don't know how to lie

You don't know how to lie

Every alibi you build comes crashing down

You don't know how to lie

You don't know how to lie

And I almost feel bad watching you drown

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh

Watching you drown

Verse 2

You swore the phone was dead all night

Said the signal dropped at ten

But a shaky story shakes a second time

And I caught the tremble then

Pre-Chorus

You stutter when you're cornered

You blink a little fast

Your fingers find your collar

Like they're looking for the past

Chorus

You don't know how to lie

You don't know how to lie

Every alibi you build comes crashing down

You don't know how to lie

You don't know how to lie

And I almost feel bad watching you drown

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh

Watching you drown

Bridge

I wanted you to fool me

I begged you to be smooth

I wanted one clean sentence

I could believe was true

But you folded like paper

You crumbled like bread

You couldn't even fake it

You couldn't even fake it

Breakdown

You don't know how

You don't know how

You don't know how to lie

Chorus

You don't know how to lie

You don't know how to lie

Every alibi you build comes crashing down

You don't know how to lie

You don't know how to lie

And I almost feel bad watching you drown

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh

Watching you drown
