Once upon a time there was someone just like you Who lived without a care in the world Just a regular girl With a secret no one knew Or so the story goes You see the way her lips move Just trying to get in the groove You think you hear the truth but the lies keep creeping in City lights illuminate Innocence but it's too late 'Cause I never wanted it to be this way Just know that I'll always be here no fear Let me make one thing clear That's why you never see it coming 'Cause I could never see the lies behind those eyes So baby take off your disguise and you'll see sunsets and starlit skies That's why you never see it coming Confusion boiling like the water that's been heated Just like my temper when I needed some clarification But I got it now I found these skeletons inside your closet So tell me my friend what you think I should do? I am almost 100 percent positive That all these skeletons belong to you Tip top in the bottom bag Is where she keeps her favorite mag And I won't fall down in the murky mess of it all City lights illuminate Innocence but it's too late 'Cause I never wanted it to be this way Just know that I'll always be here no fear Let me make one thing clear That's why you never see it coming 'Cause I could never see the lies behind those eyes So baby take off your disguise and you'll see sunsets and starlit skies That's why you never see it coming Confusion boiling like the water that's been heated Just like my temper when I needed some clarification But I got it now Take my hand I'll guide you there To a quiet place where no one stares It's all you need To make your life complete Now that it's all said and done All I ask of you is be the one To never hide Who you are inside City lights illuminate Innocence but it's too late 'Cause I never wanted it to be this way Just know that I'll always be here no fear Let me make one thing clear That's why you never see it coming 'Cause I could never see the lies behind those eyes So baby take off your disguise and you'll see sunsets and starlit skies That's why you never see it coming Confusion boiling like the water that's been heated Just like my temper when I needed some clarification But I got it now
