Lyrics to Joke or a Lie

What should I do? I am lost.

Tell me to leave the next time I'm in front of you

I can't relate

Chip on your shoulder

How do you deal with that weight?

My hands are getting tired.

Call it a joke or a lie. Call it a joke or a lie.

Put your coat on, then believe me.

I try.

Let us escape for a night.

Breathe the silence.

I am alone...

But I am alone in this room with you.

Call it a joke or a lie. Call it a joke or a lie.

Put your coat on, then believe me.

I tried.
