They love you while you're out there
Painted gold
But under the lights I see you actin'
In the scene alone
And as the credits are rollin' by
I ask myself
Who is the girl I lie beside

[Chorus:]
I lie awake
and I can't seem to lift my head up
All this weight
Has got me underneath your thumb
And I'm not gunna hurt anymore
I rely on you to lie to me some more

I've bitten off more than I care
To ever chew
I'm losing myself. I am too wrapped
Up in you
As you deliver me your lines
I ask myself
Are you in character this time?

[Chorus:]
I lie awake
and I can't seem to lift my head up
All this weight
Has got me underneath your thumb
And I'm not gunna hurt anymore
I rely on you to lie to me some more

Who is the girl behind all the lies?
Who is the girl?
Who is the girl?

They love you while you're out there
Painted gold
But under the lights, I see you actin'
Alone

[Chorus:]
I lie awake
and I can't seem to lift my head up
All this weight
Has got me underneath your thumb
And I'm not gunna hurt anymore
I rely on you to lie to me some more
