Why I Lie Lyrics

"If you ask me why i hurt you I don't understand it I can't help myself. It's a special combination. Of predatory instinct, And simple ill will."

How much more honest can she get? She's in a relationship and she's not being the best partner there is. Still, she doesn't care. She is just being herself, and dwelling on her imperfections won't do her any good. So, she says, I hurt you. I can't avoid or deny it. I don't care. You can stay or go.

Very empowering.
