Liar's Remorse Lyrics


Oh, your attention please, I wondered if an assailant passed this way
Was a friend that I once knew, flew in from LA, oh
A lesson that I learned a long, long time ago
Remind me of my lonesome self, that old wrinkled shadow

And I, I count my blessings then
I know nobody understands
I waste my days away

You don’t have love because you don’t want pain
Whoa, no, no
You don’t want pain because you don’t have trust
Whoa, no, no
You don’t have trust, so you don’t have love
Whoa, no, no
You don’t have love ’cause you just can’t take the pain

There was a time, sat there like a dog
He was the one, now he’s away riding the radio waves
Get the fuck out the way, we can have all the things you want, okay
Listen to the AI tell you what to do today, oh

I waste my days away
Instead of giving it a voice
I want to play my game

You don’t have love ’cause you don’t want pain
Whoa, no, no
You don’t want pain ’cause you don’t want trust
Whoa, no, no
You don’t have trust, so you don’t have love
Whoa, no, no
You don’t got love, you just can’t stand the pain

Harmonic minor

Don’t want love, because you don’t want pain
Whoa, no, no
You don’t want pain ’cause you don’t have trust
Whoa, no, no
You don’t want trust ’cause you don’t want love
Whoa, no, no
You don’t want love ’cause you just don’t want the pain

Taking too long, please send us a song
How can I do this all on my own?
Never a secret, all down the tubes
Putting your feet up, wrong attitude
Hiding a secret is nothing new
A reservation dinner for two
Something inside is bubbling up
We gotta go somewhere to get drunk
A reservation
Dinner for two
