ON THE RUN LYRICS

"Don't Flatter Yourself"

I haven't slept in days, I keep myself awake
I keep these secrets safe, I'll hide my mind away
I lead a double life, I'm with you half the time
This is no way to live, it's just waiting to die

I guess you never grew up, just got older
But I won't let you soil my good name

And I'm trying to pretend
That all of my friends
Aren't liars and cheaters
Double-crossers and deceivers
And given your defense
I'm a liar at my best
And I don't have the strength to pick myself back up again

Focus on little things
Everyone just laughs at me
And all these years I've wasted
Living in this lie
Lock myself in my room
Haven't seen my friends in days
It's like I never even try
I'll bury myself alive

And I'm trying to pretend
That all of my friends
Aren't liars and cheaters
Double-crossers and deceivers
And given your defense
I'm a liar at my best
And I don't have the strength to pick myself back up again

It's too late to say I'm sorry
It's too late now

And all my friends, they know your name
And we both made the same mistakes
And you couldn't keep the promises you made
So let's just go our separate ways
There's nothing left for me to say except
How I always knew you were fake

And I'm trying to pretend
That all of my friends
Aren't liars and cheaters
Double-crossers and deceivers
And given your defense
I'm a liar at my best
And I don't have the strength to pick myself back up
Makes me think I've had enough
I don't know how I ever called you "friend."
