[Verse 1]
They won't come back
You know it's always the same
And they're sure to forget
Saying, "Everyone lies"

[Verse 2]
So I'm down to this
I'm down to walking on air
And you're here by my side
With all your waving and smiles

[Verse 3]
Please keep them away
Don't let them touch me
Please don't let them lie
Don't let them see me
