When I look in your eyes I’ll see the lies
The lies that tell me what your gonna be
If you be that guy I’ll just say goodbye.

When I talk to you I just give a sigh
What you get is not always what you see
When I look in you eyes I’ll see the lies.

I want to tell but it seems I can’t fly
I don’t know what to do so please, hear me
If you be that guy I’ll just say goodbye.

When I am with you an hour goes by
Hypocrite you are, you have what I need
When I look in your eyes I’ll see the lies.

I’m sorry my heart is good, it will die
But my heart you need, for it holds the key
If you be that guy I’ll just say goodbye.

I hope you know that I’ll be in the sky
When you talk to me, I won’t disagree
When I look in your eyes I’ll see the lies
If you be that guy I’ll just say goodbye.
