transparent

you’re not always what you seem
with that insincere smile there on your lips
you’re always so quick to blame
and you’re never too easily convinced
you say that you’re not the stubborn one
you just don’t like to change your mind
you say that you’re not the lonely one
you just always end up left behind

i can see right through this masquerade
and i don’t believe a word you say
you think you’ve got everybody fooled
but the joke’s on you
i can see right through your lying eyes
right down to the fear that sits inside
it’s just so useless to pretend
because you’re so transparent

you won’t admit that you’re wrong
but there’s a look of defeat there on your face
you say you’re just too far gone
and you’ve never been one to keep the faith
but baby you are the stubborn one
what will it take to change your mind?
before you end up the only one
left all alone with your foolish pride

i can see right through this masquerade
and i don’t believe a word you say
you think you’ve got everybody fooled
but the joke’s on you
i can see right through your lying eyes
right down to the fear that sits inside
it’s just so useless to pretend
because you’re so transparent

i can see through
i can see through
i can see through
i can see through
you

i can see right through this masquerade
and i don’t believe a word you say
you think you’ve got everybody fooled
but the joke’s on you
i can see right through your lying eyes
right down to the fear that sits inside
it’s just so useless to pretend

i can see right through this masquerade
and i don't believe a word you say
you think you've got everybody fooled
but the joke's on you
i can see right through your lying eyes
right down to the fear that sits inside
it's just so useless to pretend

because you're so transparent
because you’re so transparent
