Cold War Kids – Dirt In My Eyes lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
"We were not meant to be", I told you so
No need to point the finger that would be cold
You cried like a baby, "Don't let me go"
I said that you could tell everyone it was mutual
Oh, yeah, was never kind to me
We went our separate ways, I was relieved
Until the gossip made it's way back into me
You flipped the story, put the truth in reverse
I know the game you're playing, and this revenge is dangerous

[Chorus]
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes (Dirt in my eyes)
I just keep on acting, acting surprised (Don't be surprised)
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes
Tell me your lies, tell me your lies

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
Such a chameleon, you're fake and a freak
You like the talented Miss Ripley
You will regret ever twisting my words
May I remind you, I'm the one that kicked you to the curb
You gave me a taste
Now my appetite for rage, every time you tell lies, it's ecstasy

[Chorus]
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes (Dirt in my eyes)
I just keep on acting, acting surprised (Don't be surprised)
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes
Tell me your lies, tell me your lies

[Bridge]
Throw your sticks and stones
When you do me wrong
Your anger only makes me stronger
You should've known all along
Throw your sticks and stones
When you do me wrong
Your anger only makes me stronger
You should've known all along

[Refrain]
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes (Dirt in my eyes)
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes (Oh, yeah)
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes
Tell me your lies, tell me your lies
