[Verse 1: Jonny Craig]
This hits too close to home for me
And I don't need to be reminded of this pain
I dwelled so long on the possible changes
Every step forward was a fall towards your demise

[Chorus: Jon Mess, Jonny Craig, Both]
(The secret lives of wives)
And you beg me, please don't go tonight
(Tonight, try)
And I beg you, please just come back down

[Verse 2: Jonny Craig]
To earth to build this trust
In which we have learned
To recreate

[Chorus: Jon Mess, Jonny Craig, Both]
(The secret lives of wives)
And you beg me, please don't go tonight
(Tonight, try)
And I beg you, please just come back down

[Verse 3: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
Your pride won't let you ride
(I thought your candid smile was worn down)
And you said, when will you give it up?
(I thought your candid smile was worn down
Lying to suit the mood)
I won't fail, I'm not leaving
(I thought your candid-)
And you and me and this will fall
(Candid smile was worn down
Lying to suit the mood)
How will we get it back up
(I thought your candid smile)
Shop for ties, shop for ties, shop for ties to suit the mood
Shop for ties to hang to hang myself with
[Bridge: Jonny Craig]
And you say this ended in arrogance
Caused by my vanity
And oh, where will you be?
Well, maybe you just looked too hard
Or maybe I don't look enough
Who will decide your fate?

[Verse 4: Jon Mess, Jonny Craig]
(Stricken close to the heat, and I'm)
How will you align this with love?
(Biting a line)
(Stricken close to the heat, and I'm)
How will you end this with glory?
(Biting a line)
(Burning the wheat fields)
Oh and don't let this go
(Burning the wheat fields)
And you don't let this go
(Burning the wheat fields)
And you don't let this go
(Burning the wheat fields)
Just let this down

[Outro: Jon Mess]
Shop for ties, shop for ties to suit the mood
Shop for ties to hang my, to hang myself with, self with
Hang self with
