Paroles: Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová. Lies.

I think its time we give it up

and figure out what's stopping us

from breathing easy

and talking straight

they way is clear

you're ready now

the volunteer is slowing down

and taking time to

save himself



The little cracks that escalated

before we knew it was too late

for making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me

and I can't keep up with you.

Maybe if you slow down for me,

I can see you're only telling lies, lies, lies,

breaking us down with your lies, lies, lies.

When will you learn?

breaking us down with your lies, lies, lies.

So plant the sod/soil and watch it grow

Wound it up and let it go.
