Lyrics

I admit to being irresponsible.

I'm irrational

I acknowledge being irrational.

What are you gonna do?

A rhetorical question asking for a response to the previous admissions.

And if it's in my head

If a situation or thought is only in my mind.

And if I'm just paranoid

Expressing a sense of paranoia or suspicion.

Well I guess it's just jealousy

Jealousy is identified as the cause for these feelings.

When it comes to you

These emotions are specifically related to someone else.

But you'll never guess

The unpredictable nature of the speaker's emotions.

It's like exercising

Comparing the emotional struggle to exercising, suggesting effort.

When I try to disguise it

Attempting to hide or mask these emotions.

I avoid your eyes

Avoiding direct eye contact as a way to conceal true feelings.

You'll never know

The difficulty in understanding the speaker's inner turmoil.

Inside I can't stand it at all

An internal struggle causing distress.

When every word is a lie

Dealing with dishonesty and deception in communication.

But I go through it all

Enduring despite the falsehoods.

Lies are just exercises

Lies are portrayed as a form of mental or emotional exercise.

And I can't help myself

An admission of difficulty in controlling these deceptive behaviors.

Cause I've always lied to myself

Reflecting on a history of self-deception.

I've had to fake so many things

Having to pretend or fake various aspects of oneself.

What are you gonna do?

A repetition of the earlier rhetorical question, seeking a response.

And if you see though it all

If someone can see through the deception and pretense.

And I can't excuse myself

Unable to justify or explain the deceptive behavior.

I think I need your help to see me through

Seeking assistance and understanding from someone else.

What are you gonna do?

A repetition of the earlier question, emphasizing the need for a response.

Lies are just exercises

Reiterating that lies are viewed as a form of mental or emotional exercises.
