Jersey Drive

I'm lying to my face
but who do I think I'm kidding?
I'm dying in this place
but I deserve all that I'm getting

You're not what I thought you'd be
That's just the way we do
I'd drive across New Jersey and I'd
Cut the state in two

These nights you seem so far from my town
I still feel your lips like they just left my mouth
My mind doesn't wonder 'bout the places they've been
Just searches for your taste all over her skin

I'm lighting up matches
To burn down this mattress
We buried the hatchet
But I'm digging up axes
To cut the ties
And spill the lies
I was hypnotized
Now you can't disguise--

All the things you made me do for you
What I'd bring was nothing new to you
Pull my eyes out to improve the view
And you deserve the things I'll do to you

I'm lying in my face
but I'm the only one I'm kidding
Living life disgraced
but who can keep track of my sinning?

I'm just not who I thought I'd be
That's just the way we do
I'd drive across New Jersey and I'd
Do it just for you

I'd drive across New Jersey and I'd
Say goodbye to blues

I'd drive across New Jersey just to
Cut that state in two again for you.
