My Favorite Lie

Audio

All my friends think I'm doing fine
'Cause that's what I tell them
I claim out of sight is out of mind
Whenever you're mentioned
They believe what they want to believe
And I'll say what they want to hear
Still they know
Things aren't as they appear

My favorite lie
Is that I can live without you
My foolish pride
Has been barely hangin' on
I've tried and I've tried
To fool myself since you've been gone
My favorite lie is
I can live alone

I'm alone inside a crowd
But you'd never know it
The way I joke and laugh out loud
I never show it
You believe what you want to believe
And I'll say what you want to hear
But I'll deny what my heart might volunteer

Inside this masquerade
Are feelings that I hide
I found the simple truth
The hardest to disguise
