[English]

I WISH THAT I COULD LIE, BUT I'M WAY TOO SELF-AWARE

BUT IT'S NICE TO PLAY PRETEND

OH, WE COULD NEVER BE TOGETHER

I KNOW YOU THINK THAT I'M, ALWAYS WAY TOO SELF-AWARE

I WISH THAT I COULD LIE, BUT MY MIND GETS IN THE WAY

WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME

I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING, GOD, YOU LOOK SO PRETTY

...

I WISH THAT I COULD LIE, BUT I'M WAY TOO SELF-AWARE

BUT IT'S NICE TO PLAY PRETEND

OH, WE COULD NEVER BE TOGETHER

I KNOW YOU THINK THAT I'M, ALWAYS WAY TOO SELF-AWARE

I WISH THAT I COULD LIE, BUT MY MIND GETS IN THE WAY

WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME

I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING, GOD, YOU LOOK SO PRETTY

...

PUT 'EM INTO PRACTICE

USING YOUR IMAGINATION, LAWS OF ATTRACTION

BODY'S UNDER PRESSURE, OH, I LOVE THE WAY YOU'RE

...

I WISH THAT I COULD LIE, BUT I'M WAY TOO SELF-AWARE

BUT IT'S NICE TO PLAY PRETEND

OH, WE COULD NEVER BE TOGETHER

I KNOW YOU THINK THAT I'M, ALWAYS WAY TOO SELF-AWARE

I WISH THAT I COULD LIE, BUT MY MIND GETS IN THE WAY

WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME

I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING, GOD, YOU LOOK SO PRETTY

...

...

STAY UNDER THE COVERS

TOO DRUNK TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT

DRINKS FLOWING LIKE WATER

YOU'RE GOING TO PUT ME OUT

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

NO SILENCE IF THERE'S NO SOUND

NO SMOKE WITH NO FIRE
