If I listened long enough to you I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live Without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give Never thinking of myself
If I gave you time to change my mind I'd find a way to leave the past behind Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live Without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give Never thinking of myself
If I gave you time to change my mind I'd find a way to leave the past behind Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Still I look to find a reason to believe Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I listened long enough to you I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live Without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give Never thinking of myself
If I gave you time to change my mind I'd find a way to leave the past behind Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live Without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give Never thinking of myself

Like a bird on the wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a worm on a hook, Like a knight from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. If I, if I have been unkind, I hope that you can just let it go by. If I, if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby, stillborn, Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me. But I swear by this song And by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee. I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, He said to me, "You must not ask for so much." And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Oh like a bird on the wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free.
