So I Lie - Miguel

Peel me apart, all my layers

All of my fears, all my pride

They say, «Laugh now and cry later»

I can’t ignore how I feel inside

Laugh and the world will laugh, too

Cry and the world laughs at you, yeah

So I lie to myself, let’s be real

I’m afraid of how I feel, so I lie

To my friends, but they can tell

I’m just a shell of who I am when I lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

I can barely breathe, treading water

Smile on my face while I’m turning blue

Nobody cares, just work harder

I do what I can to avoid the truth

Laugh and the world will laugh, too

Cry and the world laughs at you, yeah

So I lie to myself, let’s be real

'Cause I’m afraid of how I feel, so I lie

To the world, they can see

They can see right through me when I lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Until avoided thoughts and doubts mutate to poison

Loaded thoughts explode at ones I love

I wanna face myself, but I keep running

Two shifty patterns, I become when I lie

I lie to myself, let’s be real

Just afraid of how I feel, so I lie

To my friends, but you can tell

I’m just a shell of who I am when I lie

To the world, they can see

They can see right through me when I lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

I’m not complaining, I’m just chilling from not dealing with myself

Messed up villain in my soul, plus I hate to ask for help

I’m not complaining, I’m just chilling from not dealing with myself

Messed up villain in my soul, plus I hate to ask for help (I lie)

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
