[English]

I don't come down with the sun

I won't hate myself when the mornin' comes

No thoughts of your body runnin' through my head

No bottle of bourbon beside the bed, 'cause

It was nothing to give you up

I never reach for you in another touch

Don't ever think about you with him

And girl, tonight I won't call again and again

Ain't nothin', but

Lies, lies, lies

Look into my eyes, eyes, eyes

I'm still a fool for you

Nothin' I wouldn't do for you

Lies, lies, lies

Girl, I'm on a downhill dive

Habits and hard heartbreaks are hard to break

So, I just tell the same old lies, lies, lies

Yeah, baby, I can try, try, try

To act like I don't give a damn, but I do

Bet you're missin' me bad as I miss you

Snowballs to a phone call

Soundin' somethin' stupid

Baby, 'cause the truth is

The 90 proof is tellin' me

Lies, lies, lies

Look into my eyes, eyes, eyes

I'm still a fool for you

Nothin' I wouldn't do for you

Lies, lies, lies

Girl, I'm on a downhill dive

Habits and hard heartbreaks are hard to break

So I just tell the same old lies, lies, lyin' to myself

Why, why, why in the hell

Do I keep sayin' I can get you back?

That's about as honest as sayin' that

I don't come down with the sun

I won't hate myself when the mornin' comes

Damn, ain't nothin', but

Lies, lies, lies

Look into my eyes, eyes, eyes

I'm still a fool for you

Nothin' I wouldn't do for you

Lies, lies, lies

Girl, I'm on a downhill dive

Habits and hard heartbreaks are hard to break

So I just tell the same old lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies

...
