Discover the story of the song > Living A Lie – 3 Doors Down

The song is about a person who has been living a lie and is now ready to say goodbye to it. They talk about how talking about their troubles sometimes helps them, but now there's nothing left to talk about. They also blame their way of thinking and someone else for their situation. They say that thinking about it only makes them feel used and now there's nothing left to think about. They express that they wish they could start over again and stay, but they can't and it's time to leave it all behind. They conclude by saying that they can't handle this life anymore and they feel dead.
