Alibis - Tracy Lawrence

You're cellophane You think that you got it wrapped up With your brutal suffocating ways Like cellophane Spreading yourself too thin To begin to feel anything Oh all the fear, all the lies What you think you need to survive The crisis is moving in, over and over the same thing From X to Y to Z comply Heartache barely keeps you alive The crisis is coming, over and over the same thing (Alibis alibis) Like alibis Smiling like a sunbeam Furious as creeping fire and grazing ice And your alibis Tongue-tied smoke and mirrors Left stuttering in bleach and lights (Cellophane) Oh all the fear all the lies What you think you need to survive The crisis is moving in over and over the same thing From X to Y to Z comply Heartache barely keeps you alive The crisis is coming over and over the same thing Did you find that you're lost? Oh let us fall down through the cracks in the pavement If you find that you're lost Nothing, nothing is safer Did you find that you're lost? The cracks are the same whether sidewalk or pavement Who's keeping score? Nothing is sacred, nothing is sacred You're like cellophane You think that you got it wrapped up with your brutal suffocating ways Oh all the fear all the lies You think you need to survive The crisis is moving in Over and over the same thing From X to Y to Z comply The heartache barely keeps you alive The crisis is coming Over and over the same thing You're like cellophane You think that you got it wrapped up with your brutal suffocating ways (Alibis) (Alibis) (Alibis)

It's nothing I can put my finger on But it's there, I swear It's not somethin' I'm imaginin' Each time you call I know I'll get your "working late routine" again Is there someone I should know about? Tell me why do I have this doubt? I'm sure your alibis are water tight And you're where you have to be tonight Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me I'm know your alibis are water tight And you're where you say you are tonight But honey, I can tell I know the pattern much too well I don't fool so easily You're slippin' away from me Your telephone service says you're out again Somewhere out there You've got another rendezvous I know the way you work You'll be someplace where no one can check up on you You think you're in the clear But don't forget That's exactly the way we met I'm sure your alibis are water tight And you're where you have to be tonight Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me I'm know your alibis are water tight And you're where you say you are tonight But honey, I can tell I know the pattern much too well I don't fool so easily You're slippin away from me Is there someone I should know about? Tell me why do I have this doubt? I'm sure your alibis are water tight And you're where you have to be tonight Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me I'm know your alibis are water tight And you're where you say you are tonight But honey, I can tell I know the pattern much too well I don't fool so easily You're slippin away from me I'm sure your alibis are water tight And you're where you have to be tonight Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me . . .

Oh, I hate to be the one to bear the bad news Yes, it is true I finally fell in love I fell so hard that I'm killing myself Yes, I need out Out of this grave that I've dug And all the friends that I have gone through And how much I deserve the pain It's a shame So hold your head Hold it up high Here's to the friends that were alibis Keep this close by your side When I come home we will have our night Oh, they always told me I was gorgeous in a way And that fateful day I found who I was So fill this hole with my prescriptions I just keep feeding my addictions And all the friends that I have gone through And how much I deserve the pain It's a shame So hold your head Hold it up high Here's to the friends that were alibis Keep this close by your side When I come home we will have our night We will have our night You were the ones that stood by my side, whoa And I was the one that fought all of your fights Go! (Hold your head, hold it up high) Whoa (Keep this close by your side) Whoa So hold your head Hold it high Here's to the friends that were alibis Keep this close by your side When I come home we will have our night Hold your head Hold it up high Here's to the friends that were alibis Keep this close by your side When I come home we will have our night Hold your head Hold it up high Here's to the friends that were alibis Keep this close by your side When I come home we will have our night We will have our night

I heard you saw her last night At that dive down in Jamestown I haven't seen her since the 4th of July Did you get a chance to talk, did she mention me at all Was she there alone or with some other guy Well, I'm dying to know But I'm scared of the truth So before you say a word Consider what this heart's been through, and And lie - don't tell me that she looked amazing Just lie - if she's with someone else I just can't take it Tell me she looked sad and lonely Tell me she's been missing me like crazy Yeah, just look me in the eye and lie Was she over by the jukebox Playing songs we used to dance to Staring at the door sipping makers on the rocks Did she ask you where I've been Was she hoping I'd walk in Just take her by the hand And pick up right where we left off Well, I know shes moving on and its killing me to see And the words you want to say are strong enough to be the death of me, So lie - don't tell me that she looked amazing Just lie - if she's with someone else I just can't take it Tell me she looked sad and lonely Tell me she's been missing me like crazy Yeah, just look me in the eye and lie Cause I cant throw away the dreams we've shared Ive tried reaching out but she don't care It's pretty clear, but I ain't ready to let go, So lie - don't tell me that she looked amazing Just lie - if she's with someone else Then lie - don't tell me that she looked amazing Just Lie - if she's with someone else I just can't take it Tell me she looked sad and lonely Tell me she's been missing me like crazy Yeah, just look me in the eye and lie
