If I say it's alright   Do you believe it, or do you know that I'm lying?   It's alright, it'll get done   Just not tonight, no not tonight   But you know that I'm lying      On and on you'll see it   You'll waste your time believing   The waiting will just drive you insane      These castles of sand   Are leaving bloodstains on my hands   Just don't you dare believe in me      When I say it's alright   I believe it, I don't know that I'm lying   It's alright, it'll get done   Just not tonight, no not tonight   Well I know that you're tired      Cause this is my selfish masquerade   I'll tell you what you want to hear   It comes easily to me
