I'm Lying

I just like... I've never really talked about this, you know?

Yeah

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

This can't be fixed, I'd rather weep

I hate this house, I'm dying to leave

My mom's a snake, my dad, he drinks

Don't know my dad, he don't know me

We're not like how we used to be

We don't connect, we hardly speak

He tries to drive, I hide the keys

I'm babysitting a grown man at seventeen, at seventeen

He's ****in' pissed and starts to scream

My heart races and skips a beat

We're face to face, I can't believe

That every day's the same old thing

We fight all night, I hardly sleep

I wish he'd listen to me plead

A sober you is what we need

This wears me thin, I'm feeling weak

I feel hopeless to say the least, ****

He never slows down, uh, never slows down on the whisky

The more shots he takes, the more risky

Most times, things tend to go south quickly

He's depending on liquor, we're depending on him

He's calling outta work, there's no money coming in

We're about to lose the house, how can we let it slip?

Factor in the fact that I have to hold all of it in

I hate when...

They ask, "How's life?" I'm like, "It's fine"

I sigh, they know, deep down, I'm lying

They ask, "How's life?" I'm like, "It's fine"

I sigh, they know, deep down, I'm lying

Ooh, I'm lying

Ooh, I'm lying

Ooh, I'm lying

I'm broke and empty inside

****

Yeah

I pray the Lord my soul to take

I lost my hope, I lost my faith

I hate this house, wish I'd escape

My dad's a drunk, my mom's a snake

Don't know my mom, she don't know me

She's out all night and can't be traced

It's been a week, ain't seen her face

We hardly speak, what can I say?

I'm dealing with a grown woman who can't be saved, who can't be saved

She's lost her mind, she's a lost case

She's filled with greed, I'm dying to say

"It don't matter how much you make

When you account how much you've waste"

She blows her checks, she gambles late

She takes her shot, we're in her aim

She doesn't stop, the bills aren't paid

She blames my dad when she's to blame

Tell me, how much more can I take? ****

She never slows down, uh, never slows down on the gambling

Her life falls apart as time passes

She's blind to all of the things that can happen

She's losing control and she can't get a grip

She's addicted to the slots, there's no money coming in

We're about to lose the house, how can we let it slip?

Factor in the fact that I had to hold all of it in

I hate when...

They ask, "How's life?" I'm like, "It's fine"

I sigh, they know, deep down, I'm lying

They ask, "How's life?" I'm like, "It's fine"

I sigh, they know, deep down, I'm lying

Ooh, I'm lying

Ooh, I'm lying

Ooh, I'm lying

I'm broke and empty inside

Yeah

I'm broken, I'm broken, I'm broken

I'm broke and empty inside
