Comforting Lie Lyrics

(G. Stefani, T. Dumont, T. Kanal)

I started out on the wrong foot
Now I'm not myself 
I am Jekyll, I am Hyde
Found this place to hide
Come seek me 

Oh, so up and down
So back and forth
So insecure 
Can't get this taste out of my mouth
Swallow it down
Pretend 

Hold it, hold it all in 
Let it build up
Build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away 
Clear it all out
Just end it 

I'm just a normal person
Without those problems
When did it change? 
Admissions so embarrassing
I'm on the verge of tears again 

Hold it, hold it all in 
I'll let it build up
Build a bomb 
And blow it, blow it away 
Clear it all out
Just end it 

Oh look I took the Band-Aid off
Did I take it off too soon?
Hysterical confession
My big courageous move 

Don't gasp at the predictable
A comforting lie can't last 
Preordained checklist of this awkward love
It's so sad
 
Hold it, hold it all in 
I'll let it build up
Oh, build a bomb 
Blow it, blow it away 
Clear it all out
Just end it 

Sort it, sort it out 
Just give it back
No thank you 
Toss it, toss it away 
Eliminate
Just give up
 
I can't decide
This tug of war 
I'm feeling weak
