lyrics

There's nothing left inside your heart
How many times have we heard this all before
And I don't feel that I want to hear it again

It's only lies than can bring us to our knees
It's only love that kills us like disease
I'm not sure what is left in store for me

You said this is for tomorrow
And then you sell us out again
But how could a head so hollow
Not be lost inside the shame
The shame

I look for answers as I stare into these eyes
But I can't see them as you hide behind disguise
I start to feel that I'm only fooling myself

I start to panic like the livestock I've become
With all the fears that have only come undone
And I feel that this could be the end of me
(The end of me)

You said this is for tomorrow
And then you sell us out again
But how could a head so hollow
Not be lost inside the shame
The shame

Please tell us again
We're only kidding ourselves
Please tell us again
We're only kidding ourselves
Cos we are only stuck in this lie
And we're only kidding ourselves

We're only kidding ourselves
We're only kidding ourselves

We're only kidding ourselves
We're only kidding ourselves
Only kidding and fooling no one

We're only kidding ourselves
We're only kidding ourselves
Only kidding and fooling no one

And as I stare into your eyes
You will hide behind disguise (I feel I'm falling down again)
And now I feel there is no way out (I feel I'm falling down again)

And as I stare into your eyes
You will hide behind disguise (I feel I'm falling down again)
Now I feel there is no way out (I feel I'm falling down again)

As I stare into your eyes
You will hide behind disguise (I feel I'm falling down again)
Now I feel there is no way out (Only kidding and fooling no one)

We're only kidding ourselves
