i m lying to you cause i m lost

The Paper Kites

Shaking in the evening sun
Counting all the times I ve run
Trying to be honest
Selfish from a point of view

How d it get away from me?
Held up in the old Q. C
Watching out the window
Crying in my hotel room

Oh, I ll do anything that you want
Except what you re wanting from me

I m lying to you cause I m lost
Lying to you cause I m lost
Lying to you cause I m lost

My mother seems to know it all
Sensed it from a distant call
How s she so objective?
Tell me how you really feel

And I was once a maker of my time
A celebrated man of mind
Always feels a dream until the real sets in
Oh, I ll be anything that you want
Except what you want me to be

I m lying to you cause I m lost
Lying to you cause I m lost
Lying to you cause I m lost

So tell me darling what s it cost
When I m lying to you cause I m lost?
Lying to you cause I m lost
I m lost, I m lost

I ll be anything
I ll be anything
Except what you want me to be
