Jehnny Beth and Bobby Gillespie - Living A Lie

We're living a lie
There's nothing we can do
At least we tried to see it through
I'm hurting, baby, and so are you
It's time to say goodbye
We're living a lie
Been living alone
Together apart

The things we do to each other
Is breaking our hearts
It's a shame, we're living in pain
we're living alone
Together apart

There's a price to pay for living
When you're taking but not giving
You're trying to get to heaven
But you ain't got no religion

You stay out late
Never come home for days
And I don't know where you were
Or who you were with
You wonder why I don't have sex with you anymore?
Well, without trust, how can there be love?

We're living a lie
And we both know it's time to say goodbye
But we're scared to go
We can just keep on pretending
That no one wants to end it
We're living a lie
We're living a lie

There's a price to pay for living
When you're taking but not giving
You're trying to get to heaven
But you ain't got no religion

(You leave me behind)
(You leave me behind)
(You leave me behind)

You come home deranged
Acting guilty and strange
You've put a wound where the trust once was
And now, you try to shift the blame
I don't want our children To grow up
amongst All this fighting and drug taking
It's heartbreaking
It's damaging them
Can't you see?
It's over

There's a time to pay for living
When you're taking but not giving
You're trying to get to heaven
But you ain't got no religion

There's a price to pay for living
When you're taking but not giving
You're trying to get to heaven
But you ain't got no religion

We try, but we die inside
We lie, just to stay alive
We try, but we die inside
We lie, just to stay alive
We try, but we die inside
We lie, just to stay alive
