Lyrics

Innocent bystanders caught up in the crossfire
Whenever we speak
They don't understand us they stumble on the tripwire
you lay at my feet
And I don't beliee a word, no I don't believe a word
That you say to me, I don't, I don't believe a word

Everybody's listening I walk away you grab me by the coat
In your eyes tears are glistening
And when we speak a lump comes to your throat
And I don't believe a word, no I don't believe a word
That you say to me, I don't, I don't believe a word
No no I don't believe a word

You're as sharp as a razor and twice as dangerous
As a kid dressed in leather with his hands on a knife
My heart's made of paper and it's starting and it's starting to break

Whenever we're together you've been telling me lies
