Lyrics
Don't Lie To Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why can't you just tell me the truth?
Hard to believe the things you say
Why can't you feel the tears I cry today
Cry today, cry today?
How do you win if we all lose?
You change the facts to justify
Your lips move, but your words get in the way
In the way, in the way
Kings and queens, crooks and thieves
You don’t see the forest for the trees
Head and heart, on our knees
You can’t see what we all see
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me
You lie to me
Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me
You lie to me
You can build towers of bronze and gold
You can paint castles in the sky
You can use smoke and mirrors, old clichés
Not today, not today
Kings and queens, crooks and thieves
You don’t see the forest for the trees
Hand on heart, down on knees
You can’t see what everyone sees
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me
You lie to me
Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me
You lie to me
Can’t you see I’m crying?
Can’t you see we’re crying?
Where’s the new horizon?
Where’s the new horizon?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning? (How do you sleep?)
All that we built has come undone (enough is enough)
How do you sleep when the world is burning? (How do you sleep?)
Everyone answers to someone
Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me
You lie to me
Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me
You lie to me
Can’t you see I’m crying?
(Can’t you see we’re crying?)
Can’t you see we’re crying?
Everyone answers to someone
