You've spent a year staring into a mirror
Another one trying to figure out what you saw
Paid so much attention to what you're not
You had no idea who you are
But heaven knows, knows
That you're lying
As far as heaven goes, heaven goes
I just stopped trying
(Interlude) A A A A
Now I can hear every word you're saying
I'm just not sure I want to know
You can play the fool and still follow the rules
If you seem like you care or you're good
But heaven knows, knows
That you're lying
As far as heaven goes, heaven goes
I just stopped trying
(Interlude) A A
(Middle Eight)
You've lost yourself in others'
Expectations of you
Now you prefer this cari-
cature before being true
But you're better than that, you're so much better than that
I know you better than that
(Verse)
Now baby, tell me, what's your story?
Do you think it'll ever sell?
And what'll you do if it comes down to it?
If it all goes STRAIGHT TO HELL?
But heaven knows, knows
That you're lying
As far as heaven goes, heaven goes
I just stopped trying
Heaven knows (heaven knows)
Heaven knows
Heaven knows (heaven knows)
Heaven knows, that you're
Lying, lying
(Outro slow)
