Just sit back
And tell me I'm a liar for this
Don't roll your eyes
Rewind
This happens way too many times
So sit back and tell me
That you're tired of this

I know I'll grow up some
But it's 2 AM
And I'm too high and dry
And I won't come down soon

So when I come back
I won't say a word
I know I've said this before
Don't speak, liar
No, we won't talk
We won't say a word
I know you've heard this before
Don't speak, liar

Sit back and tell me why
I'm so prone to this
Do you think I'm fond of getting you
And letting you down?
And I'll get mine soon

So when I come back
I won't say a word
I know I've said this before
Don't speak, liar
No, we won't talk
We won't say a word
I know you've heard this before
Don't speak, liar

And if the story ends here
I can't be surprised to find
Your eyes are opened wide
And that I have inspired you

And when you come back
Don't say a word
I know you've said this before
Don't speak, liar
And no, we won't talk
We won't say a word
I know you've said this before
Don't speak, liar
Don't speak, liar
Don't speak, liar

    General Comment:If you read the bridge to The Quiet and then the bridge to this song, it kind of ties together.

    So open up your friendly fire
    And let me be the kill you're missing
    Don't wanna see you close your eyes
    Until this is over

    And if the story ends here
    I can't be surprised to find
    Your eyes are open wide
    And that I have inspired you

    General Comment:I think that this song is about a boy who never has his mind made up about this girl, so they continuously break up and get back together, and for a while, the girl has no objections to this. She starts realizing that hes gonna keep doing it and hes a liar, but she still cares. "Do you think I'm fond of getting you
    And letting you down?" Shes getting tired of him doing it all, and so she starts breaking up with him too. and getting back together. They both lie, but they always end up with eachother. Thats just my take

    General Comment:To me this song seems like it is about just leading someone on. And that she basically wises up to what he is doing. The lines
    "Sit back and tell me why
    I'm so prone to this
    Do you think I'm fond of getting you
    And letting you down?
    And I'll get mine soon"
    It seems like he is just so used to getting her and letting her down, and it isn't because he likes it but more so he knows he can, and when you know you have that power over someone, it makes it way easier. But then he has the ultimate realization that she will one day catch on to his crap, and he'll lose her and that is where the I'll get mine soon comes in. Also the eyes open wide makes it seem like when she decides to leave him it will be cause she won't be closing her eyes to the truth anymore. It's a good song.

    General Comment:The song is about one of the band members ex's who cheated on him while he was on the road... the phrase "And if the story ends here I can't be surprised to find Your eyes are opened wide..." They had to change legs to eyes to make it less...um sexual... Great song!

    General Comment:Love this song, like every song by We The Kings. Basically it's saying that he's lied so many times to her that she's fed up with it and can't believe him anymore. She doesn't want to talk about it because she can't trust anything he says. He's let her down so many times, and now she's letting him down and breaking up with him for good.

    General Comment:i used to make my ex listen to this song.

    cause we broke up after 5 months, and i blocked him out of my life, we didnt talk for 3 months cause he decided to lie, and accuse me of everything. we got back together, lasted a month, and then broke up because he continued with his lies. now we dont talk, again. haha. wed fight till 2 am sometimes, which its rlly ironic, and hed always say things like im letting him down, and id sya we fight too much, and hed say hes tired of it. this whole song just reminds me of it all.

    haha.
