Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth - Living A Lie

[Verse 1: Bobby Gillespie]
We're living a lie
There's nothing we can do
At least we tried to see it through
I'm hurting baby, and so are you
It's time to say goodbye
We're living a lie

Been living alone
Together apart
The things we do to each other
Is breaking our hearts
It's a shame
We're living in pain
We're living alone
Together apart
[Chorus: Bobby Gillespie]
But there's a price to pay for living
When you're taking but not giving
You're trying to get to heaven
But you ain't got no religion

[Verse 2: Jehnny Beth]
You stay out latе
Never come homе for days
I don't know where you were
Or who you were with
You wonder why I don't have sex with you anymore?
Well, without trust, how can there be love?

[Verse 3: Bobby Gillespie]
We're living a lie
And we both know
It's time to say goodbye
But we're scared to go
We can just keep on pretending
That no one wants to end it
We're living a lie
We're living a lie

[Chorus: Bobby Gillespie]
There's a price to pay for living
When you're taking but not giving
You're trying to get to heaven
But you ain't got no religion
[Post-Chorus: Jehnny Beth]
We're living a lie
We're living a lie
We're living a lie

[Verse 4: Jehnny Beth]
You come home deranged
Acting guilty and strange
You've put a wound
Where the trust once was
And now, you try to shift the blame
I don't want our children to grow up
Amongst all this fighting and drug taking
It's heartbreaking
It's damaging them
Can't you see?
It's over

[Chorus: Bobby Gillespie]
There's a price to pay for living
When you're taking but not giving
You're trying to get to heaven
But you ain't got no religion
There's a price to pay for living
When you're taking but not giving
You're trying to get to heaven
But you ain't got no religion
[Outro: Bobby Gillespie]
We try, but we die inside
We lie, just to stay alive
We try, but we die inside
We lie, just to stay alive
