Rhett Miller - I Believe She's Lying Lyrics

Although she's none the wiser, although we've barely met
I can recognize her from the treatment that I get
So it's my duty to advise her if she breaks the rules
I've said I'll quit though, I'll admit that hasn't happened yet

I believe she's lying
I trust her to undermine my faith in her, in time
I have every confidence that she'll dismantle mine
Given time

As sure as she is sitting here, she's sure that she's awake
As soon as we're committing, we're admitting our mistake
So of course it's only fitting that the course we're going to take
Is drawn and whereupon, I'm slamming on the brakes

I believe she's lying
I trust her to undermine my faith in her, in time
I have every confidence that she'll dismantle mine
Given time

The power of suggestion, the element of chance
The subject now in question is the same old song and dance
And the time that we invest in setting traps out in advance
So we could spend the weekend staring in a trance

I believe she's lying
I trust her to undermine my faith in her, in time
I have every confidence that she'll dismantle mine
Given time

It's a given, given time
It's a given, given time
It's a given
