You know that my pride's been beaten
And maybe my words come out a little bruised
But it's a critical misrepresentation
A picture plastered across the nation
A heart beaten and bruised
A mind black and blue
It's not me
My own deceiving's got me believing
That I'm never blind, always lied
That I'm always right, never tried
To be anything more than me
Is to be anything more than a lie
And my words have landed like a stone
Where the price of regret begins to stick
And it's an analytcal determination
That I've bit through my hesitation
A word can stick and stone
A love can break and own
It's not me
My own deceiving's got me believing
That I'm never blind, always lied
That I'm always right, never tried
To be anything more than me
Is to be anything more than a lie
I'm pure and polluted
I'm wholly diluted and no one's disputed
The words I have said
Are now painted in red inside of my head
To be anything more than me, it's not me
My own deceiving's got me believing
That I'm never blind, always lied
That I'm always right, never tried
To be anything more than me
Is to be anything more than a lie
My own deceiving's got me believing
To be anything more than me
Is to be anything more than a lie
