lyrics

In the headlights
Of the cars passing by
Is the shadow of the empty man
That's left behind

There's another a man
Who can tell a lie
By the way you look in the distance

And he's got no soul
And his voice cuts through
Any lines you tell him
In all honesty
But he'll still say it's not true
There's an emptiness inside me
That only he can apparently see
And he asked me, could I really be
Who I need, who I need to be?

Tell a liar fom another
Tell the honest from the true

So an actor I am
The kind of person I am
It's so easy being self absorbed
Bring your beer and your ear
And I can tell you so much more

In his black coat
With his beer in his hand
Unaware of the riot that's about to start
In your eyes I see it
But in your voice I don't believe it
Cuz the liar here is you

He's got black eyes
And he's got no soul
And his voice cuts through
Any lines you tell him
In all honesty
But he'll still say it's not true
There's an emptiness inside me
That only he can apparently see
And he asked me, could I really be
Who I need, who I need to be?

He asked me who I need to be.

Tell me now it's all done
When it's not even yet begun
I do my best to try and stay true

Bring your beer
And your ear
And a real heart could really help too

He's got black eyes
And he's got no soul
And his voice cuts through
Any lines you tell him
In all honesty
But he'll still say it's not true
There's an emptiness inside me
That only he can apparently see
And he asked me, could I really be
Who I need, who I need to be?
