Wish that I didn?t have to see a confidant as an enemy
Count on lies and the lines you cross helplessly I could only watch
Dodging words as they ricochet honesty that?ll never pay
Your convictions I believe like an apparition haunting me
Now the truth is a ball and chain
Holding my conscience to the flame
Covered up but still I know
The secret of the life you?re guilty of
The smoking gun is what I?ve found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Ooh I?m buried under
Trying to tread through sinking sand but in your wake you know I can?t stand
What I thought was meant to be is a broken heart weighing down on me
Now the truth is a ball and chain
Holding my conscience to the flame
Covered up but still I know
The secret of the life you?re guilty of
The smoking gun is what I?ve found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Ooh I?m buried under
Lead
Can you fall for the wings of a dove when the clever wolf is the one you love
Now the truth is a ball and chain
Holding my conscience to the flame
Covered up but still I know
The secret of the life you?re guilty of
The smoking gun is what I?ve found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Ooh I?m buried under
Wish that I didn?t have to see a confidant as an enemy
