"the hardest part"

for your next trick, i'll volunteer
you can be quick, i'll disappear
and as for your questions:
i bite my lip to beat you
in proper position
i never had much to lose

'cause all you are is all you got
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
come on and stay
come on and start
i know the way
i know it's the hardest part

you have always got a smile beneath your sneer
even when i'm coming down, you make it clear
so what else could i do?
i hold my breath and shoot through
your friends talk about you
i'm sorry, what can i do?

'cause all you are is all you got
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
come on and stay
come on and start
i know the way
i know it's hard

and all you are is all you got
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
come on and stay
come on and start
i know the way
i know it's the hardest part

you miss all the stars
when you look for the light
tell me, would you die
for all the songs you write?
i watch you just like a TV show

'cause all you are is all you got
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
come on and stay
come on and start
i know the way
i know it's hard

'cause all you are is all you got
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
come on and stay
come on and start
i know the way
i know it's hard

and all you are is all you got
And i confess, i lie a lot
yes, all you are, it's all you got
it's all you got
it's all you got
it's all you got
