Silkrats - Partners in Crime Lyrics

You keep telling me to be strong, but I've been solid for so long
You try to rip it out of me, a sorry sight for all to see
Now there's nobody left but you, and I cling on 'cause I have to
And this has taken the best of me, wave goodbye to my empathy
And I know you think we're partners in crime, but you're mistaken, go get away
You work real hard and you get real far but it's just not good enough
You lie to me
And you work real hard but still end up scarred, it's as fair as it's gonna be
You lie to me
I've been oh so close to tears, and I've felt like this for years
And then nobody takes the blame, lost in the balance, it's all the same
Please help me work it all out, and I'm sorry to bring you down
But only you can make the change, 'cause it's got nothing to do with me
And I know you think we're partners in crime, but you're mistaken, go get away
You work real hard and you get real far and it's just not good enough
You lie to me
And you work real hard but still end up scarred, its as fair as it's gonna be
You lie to me
You keep telling me to be strong, but I've been solid for so long
You keep ripping it out of me, wave goodbye to my empathy
And I know you think we're partners in crime, but you're mistaken, go get away
You work real hard and you get real far but it's just not good enough
You lie to me
And you work real hard but still end up scarred, it's as fair as it's gonna be
You lie to me
