Living A Lie

At the start of the day I let the light into the room
I wish for the sky to be a clear bright shade of blue
I rub the sleep from my eyes to see a face I don’t recognise
My reflection doesn’t reflect me at all
Chorus
Don’t want to be a consolation prize
I hope to try and get by
Not living a lie
Not living a lie
It’s a long time to wait being alone and counting the days
I know I should keep busy and stop wishing the time away
I wipe the tears from my eyes to see a face I don’t recognise
My reflection doesn’t reflect me at all
Chorus
Don’t want to be a consolation prize
I hope to try and get by
Not living a lie
Not living a lie
I’m just a picture on the wall
I might take it down
I’m stuck for a place to fall
Tired of hitting the ground
I don’t like it much whenever they’re around
They flaunt it in my face when they try and pin you down
I cannot look into their eyes and see anything I recognise
Their reflection doesn’t affect me at all
Chorus
Don’t want to be a consolation prize
I hope to try and get by
Not living a lie
Not living a lie
