Simple Creatures – One Little Lie lyrics

[Verse 1 - Mark Hoppus]
I live on the dark side
So feel the shades die
Don't shine the light in my eyes
I’m so jealous and inspired
It's like I'm always wired
To a time-bomb

[Pre-Chorus - Mark Hoppus]
Lost my faith in drinking
Lost my voice again
Living in a shark’s teeth
With you beside me
Waiting for the water to bleed

[Chorus 1 - Alex Gaskarth]
If I tell myself one little lie
Then I think that I'll be alright
I tell myself one little lie
It gets (...) every day
Like it's filled with (...) that built me
'Cause I tell myself one little lie
And the pain don't phase me

[Verse 2 - Mark Hoppus]
Falling of the earth's face
Watching your eyes glaze
I taste the salt of your skin
Fighting in a foreign city
Tonight will only leave
(...) to my time bomb

[Pre-Chorus - Mark Hoppus]
Lost yourself in whiskey
Lost your keys again
Living in a shark's teeth
With you beside me
Waiting for the water to bleed

[Chorus 2 - Alex Gaskarth]
If I tell myself one little lie
Then I think that I'll be alright
I tell myself one little lie
My head gets heavy every day
These building blocks have built me
I tell myself one little lie
And the pain don’t phase me

[Bridge - Alex Gaskarth and Mark Hoppus]
Everything, opposite
Back and forth, wanna quit
Everything, opposite
Back and forth, wanna quit
Everything (everything), opposite (opposite)
Back and forth (back and forth), wanna quit (wanna quit)
Everything (everything), opposite (opposite)
Back and forth (back and forth), wanna quit (wanna quit)
Everything (everything)

[Chorus - Alex Gaskarth]
If I tell myself one little lie
Then I think that I’ll be alright
I tell myself one little lie
I trip and stumble some of the time
But I know that I'll be alright
I tell myself one little lie
And the pain don’t phase me

[Outro - Mark Hoppus and Alex Gaskarth]
I tell myself one little lie
And the pain don't phase me
I tell myself one little lie
And the pain don't phase me
I tell myself one little lie
And the pain don't phase me
I tell myself one little lie
And the pain don’t phase me
