Liar from The Killjoy by Sarah Gross

I’ve been walking on my old road
I’ve been tying up my laces just to go home
I’ve been crying, I’ve been trying
Reinvent myself each day to keep from dying

I need aching, I need drama
And I need to be more kinder to my karma
I want missing, I want kissing
I want you to be more talk, and I’ll be listen

Chorus
I need someone to talk to
You’re looking at me like I’m freaking you out
You need something to lean on
And I’m pulling all the weight that you require
All the stories I sell, yeah, you’re the buyer
I’m a liar

I’m a chaser
I’m a red light
I’m the thing that you keep hidden on your lampside
I wish you would get out of your head
I’m the reckless kind of wonderful in your bed

Chorus
I need someone to talk to
You’re looking at me like I’m freaking you out
You need something to lean on
And I’m pulling all the weight that you require
All the stories I sell, yeah, you’re the buyer
I’m a liar

(I’m a liar)

Let me say what I need to say
You can tell me that i’m getting crazy and
If you say what i need to hear

Then I’ll go back to my best friends, tell them “everything is grand”
And I’ll go back to my parents, tell them they don’t understand
And I’ll go back to my brothers, tell them “everything’s okay”
Then I’ll come back home to you and hope you ask about my day

Chorus
I need someone to talk to
You’re looking at me like I’m freaking you out
You need something to lean on
And I’m pulling all the weight that you require
All the stories I sell, yeah, you’re the buyer
Tell me everything is fine and I’ll retire
I’m a liar
