Problem One
B.I.N.T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh
Leave me alone
If you're not the one I miss
I don't wanna taste your kiss
Lyin' to myself
Believin' takin' pictures off the shelf
Is gonna be any help
Why's it so hard to deal with my problems
Why's it so much easier to hide the truth than to solve 'em

I told myself I'm ok
I lied again
I lied again
I told myself I'm ok
I've got a problem with lyin' to me

Oh
This is it
I just want the one I miss
I guess I gotta live like this
I'm gonna lie to myself
And run from any help
I don't need nobody there

Why's it so hard to deal with my problems
Why's it so much easier to hide the truth than to solve 'em
Oh no

I told myself I'm ok
I lied again
I lied again
I told myself I'm ok
I've got a problem with lyin' to me

If anybody wants to leave you
Do yourself a favor
let 'em go
Someday somebody's gonna need you
It's gon' be obvious
You're gonna know
Lost myself makin the wrong ties
I been searchin' for the wrong lies
Anything to shorten long nights
Talkin to myself and I

I told myself I'm ok
I lied again
I lied again
I told myself I'm ok
I've got a problem with lyin' to me

I told myself I'm ok
I lied again
Stop lyin' to me




I told myself I'm ok
Cause in the end I'm ok
