License This Song 

• When I'm lying in your bed
  Play the motions through my head
  You know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking
  And I have reasons to believe
  That I'm not the only one you spend this time with
  But I'll stay
  
  You say
  You're weak
  You won't let me down
  You won't let me down
  You lied
  Through your teeth
  You smile in your sleep
  Smile in your sleep
  
  When we met
  You said that we were the same
  You know that we're different
  We're different
  And all those time you promised me that
  Everything would work out in the end
  You were gravely mistaken
  
  You say
  You're weak
  You won't let me down
  You won't let me down
  You lied
  Through your teeth
  You smile in your sleep
  You smile in your sleep
  
  You lie
  You lie
  You lie
  You lie
  
  You lied
  Through your teeth
  You won't let me down
  You lie
  I deserve better then this
  
  I dream of steel
  Maroon and warm
  Your end (your end)
  Your end (your end)
  You gasp for air
  
  I'll see this through
  I'll see through you
  You're pale (you're pale)
  You're pale (you're pale)
  You're pale
  Blue eyes
  
  When your lying in your bed
  Your eulogy's been read
  You know that it's fitting
  You lie
  
  You say
  Your weak
  You wont let me down
  You wont let me down
  You lied
  Through your teeth
  You smile in your sleep
  You smile in your sleep
  
  You smile
  You smile
  You smile
  You smile
  I deserve better than this Writer/s: Joshua Bradford, Neil Boshart, Paul Koehler, Shane Told, William Hamilton

• Dallas from West Valley City, UtThe way I see it, is it is about a relationship where the girl is cheating on the guy. The guy knows it, but pretends that he doesn't because he wants it to just go away; he doesn't want to confront her. Buuuuuut, all the bottled rage is let out in the end and he ends up murdering her "I dream of steel, maroon and warm. your end, your end, you gasp for air" I interpret that as him stabbing her to death: (steel- a knife) (maroon and warm - blood). Whether or not he actually does it, or if he just wants to is up for us to decide i think.
• Landon from Winchester, OhSounds a bit too much like a 30 Seconds to Mars song. It's good, though.
• Andrewvenom92390 from Elyria, Ohi think in the end of the song she dies (he kills her??) becuz it talked about her lying in her "bed" and the euology being read. and he thinks its fitting for her.
• Jessa from Pittsburgh, Paidk but i love it lol
• Emily from Grand Rapids, MiLove the song.Love the Music video.Love the Band
  :x
• Ty from Dumas, Txthis song is actually about a dream that the lead singer, shane told, had. he says it was one of the kreepeist dreams he's ever had.come on people get the re-release. it'll keep you from having to guess at the song meanings it tells you.
• Holly from Hollywood, DcThat might be true that shes cheating on him and she doesnt know he knows it, but really he does. But i think this song is about a girl being mentally crazy about this guy, and him meaning everything to her, but hes not at a point in his life that he can just forget about everything except for her, but thats not really what she wants him to do, he just thinks that. And additionally he ended up leaving her in agony, with a broken heart. All because of a lie, that the guy doesnt even know of.
