Let's pretend that this is real Let's say this really is the deal The way you put me out It makes me doubt my sanity Toe the line until it breaks You savor all of your mistakes And then you do whatever pleases you It's all you know Clean me and hang me out to dry Screaming and live another lie You make it seem so effortless Grace is never the reward It's a price you never could afford You can count your change But you can't exchange your dignity Sell your soul and pay the rent Be sure you count up every cent Cause when you lose your aim In this dirty game you're through Clean me and hang me out to dry Screaming and live another lie You make it seem so effortless Clean me and hang me out to dry Scheming until the day you die You make it seem so effortless
