lyrics

Living on the spot
Face to face and out of place
Living on the spot
Caught in a lie I never told
Living on the spot
I swear you'll want me to stay
Living on the spot
After I play this part for you
This part for you
After I play this part for you
I've got so much to say, but it's nothing
I see her there, her narrow eyes
A thief in the night
There's something precious and I want you to have it
But she's telling me I'll never be worthy of your love
Anything but free, anyone but me
Twisting myself into somebody else, just let me believe
Eventually, anyone but me
Twisting myself into somebody else, just let me be
Living on the spot
Face to face and out of place
Living on the spot
Caught in a lie I never told
Living on the spot
I swear you'll want me stay
Living on the spot
After I play this part for you
This part for you
This part for you
After I play this part for you
I got so far to go 'til the dead end
Invisible, Vulnerable
Exposed in the light
A long, dark road but I don't know where it's heading
It's driving me crazy thinking I'm sane
Twisting myself into somebody else
This is not who I am, it's not who I am
But here I am
To be honest, this is about the way I hide
From you, from me and the way I feel inside
To be honest, this is about the mask I wear
The panic of promise, ooh I'm too aware
Living on the spot
Face to face
On the spot
Caught in a lie
Living on the spot
I swear you'll want me
After I play
Living on the spot
Face to face and out of place
Living on the spot
Caught in a lie I never told
Living on the spot
I swear you'll want me to stay
Living on the spot
After I play this part for you
This part for you
This part for you
After I play this part for you
This part for you
This part for you
After I play this part for you
