She's a liar
It comes to this
All we had 'til now is gone
And I'm the other
Piece to this
Every time I feel this inside
I don't want to be the one who

Caught you
So take cover
Never saw it comin' so you put me on again
Had you and no other
The game, the lies are getting old

She starts feeling on her own
She makes the city seem like home
All you had for me is gone
I give and I give
But you hope in return
Never thought I'd be the one to burn

Every time I feel this inside
I don't want to be the one to
I don't want to be the one who

Caught you
So take cover
Never saw it comin' so you put me on again
Had you and no other
The game, the lies are getting old

    I can relate to this in terms of a friend who uses you when convienent-"I give and i give but you hope in return" They make you feel special when they need you for something but you fall for it every time "Never saw it comin' so you put me on again" but you have no one else so you keep being their friend even though you see what they do-"Had you and no other The game, the lies are getting old"

    First off.... great song... I love it. Now, I could be totally wrong here so....I dunno if I am....just let me know and disregard this. To me, the song is about a guy in a relationship with a girl where he has been totally loyal and he realizes that she isn't being loyal. He's telling her to take cover because she's being overly obvious about her fooling around and he doesn't want to see it. He knows she's doing it but seeing it would make it undeniably real.

    This song is amazing! So is the acoustic version!x anyways... i think the song is about a guy who is with a chick that has deceived (maybe cheated on) him as in ' shes a liar' and all they had till then is gone because shes ruined it. but the girl kept coming back to him and he takes her in but she just continually deceives him while he is being faithful to her the whole time. all he has done is give to her so he never expected her to practically sh#% on him in return. so thats my reading :)
