I've been keeping little things
Away from you
Just outside of your view
I was banking on a miss
I'm bound to this
I can't keep playing cool

You'll go on and on and leave me vacant
Hang me out to dry and call it over
Running out of lies to keep it blatant
You're much better off to walk away

I know if I keep it from you
Keep it from you
Ocean drives around in Malibu
I know if I tell you the truth
Tell you the truth
I might lose you
So it's better if I keep it from you

When it's easier to lie
Than tell the truth
It's like I'm split in two
I'm an enemy to me
Not hard to see
Got nothing to do with you
