Every time you make a wish Every time you blow a kiss
Every time you scrape and bow Every time you tell me how
When I don't play by your rules At every dirty, stinking school
Every book I've ever read Of all my heroes that are dead
I wasn't planning to fail I wasn't planning to fail
So every time I tell a lie A little piece inside me dies
Every time you go to sleep Every time you sell too cheap
Every time you go to ground Every time you're gag and bound
All the times I've played the fool And when I'm feeling ten feet tall
When all is evil in my head Is everything you always dread
I wasn't planning to fail I wasn't planning to fail
So every time you tell a lie A little piece inside me dies
It dies It dies
It dies It dies
It dies
It dies
