Aimee Mann Living a Lie lyrics

You can see yourself in the side mirror
Tossing your hair
If no one is there
Then why do you care

I Know I let you think there was no witness to
All of your crimes
I knew what you were
A climber that climbs

I'm living a lie
You're living it too
Cause I live it with you

I'm living a lie
A lie I can tell
So I wait for the crack in the shell

No one bears a grudge
Like a boy genius
Just past his prime
Gilding his cage
A bar at a time

For every open arm
There's a cold shoulder
Waiting to turn
People to blame
Bridges to burn


I'm living a lie
You're living it too
Cause I live it with you

I'm living a lie
A lie I can tell
So I wait for the crack in the shell

A girl comes around at a time when you're down
As the shakiest leaves on the tree
Creating for you a persona or two
Or an out and out mythology

Now there's too many cooks
But you like how it looks
When they bowing and calling you boss
But the powers that were invested in her
And now willing means taking a loss

I'm living a lie
your living it too
cause I live it you

I'm living a lie
a lie can 't tell
so wait for a crack in the shell
so wait for a crack in the shell
