[Verse 1] Is that what you're worth? Or a shot in the dark from the corner of the past? You wondered why I lied to you the night you came in to my room When we'll settle the nerves or take the edge off? I've only got so many left to lose I'll pick and choose [Chorus 1] My bark is your bite It cuts like a knife And I lie because My mind says it's the best thing to do for you My mind says it's the best thing to do for you My mind says it's the best thing to do [Verse 2] [Is that what cigarettes do?] Doubt the price of the thoughts in the corner of your skull And you wondered why I took my time to throw my arms around you
Nobody wants to love To carry the burden or balance the gla** With each and every move I'll pick and choose [Chorus 2] My bark is your bite But time after time I lie because My mind says it's the best thing to do for you My mind says it's the best thing to do for you My mind says it's the best thing to do [Chorus] My bark is your bite It's like I'm alive When I lie because My mind says it's the best thing to do So I'll take one more chance I'll dance if you dance I'll try because My mind says it's the best thing to do My mind says it's the best thing to do For you [Outro] My mind says it's the best thing to do
