Chapter Text
Song: Lying From You
Album: Meteora
Verse 1: Nerissa Ravencroft
When I pretend, everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can but I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay
I'm just...
Ollie: Trying to bend the truth
Nerissa: I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be, so I'm...
Ollie: Lying away from you
Nerissa: No, no turning back now
Ollie: I wanna be pushed aside so let me go
Nerissa: No, no turning back now
Ollie: Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
Nerissa: No turning back now
Ollie: Anywhere on my own so I can see
Nerissa: No, no turning back now
Ollie: The very worst part of you is me
Verse 2: Nerissa Ravencroft
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I oughta be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me, I'm just...
Ollie: Trying to bend the truth
Nerissa: The more I push, the more I'm pulling away 'cause I'm....
Ollie: Lying away from you
Nerissa: No, no turning back now
Ollie: I wanna be pushed aside so let me go
Nerissa: No, no turning back now
Ollie: Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
Nerissa: No turning back now
Ollie: Anywhere on my own so I can see
Nerissa: No, no turning back now
Ollie: The very worst part of you IS ME!!!
Nerissa: (Intensely) This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me like this
Ollie: You
Nerissa: No turning back now
Ollie: I wanna be pushed aside so let me go
Nerissa: No, no turning back now
Ollie: Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
Nerissa: No turning back now
Ollie: Anywhere on my own so I can see
Nerissa: No, no turning back now
Ollie: The very worst part of you The very worst part of you is me
