Lyrics
Long Time Lie
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.
It's been a while since you did something
Not so long since you complained
You sit around and doing nothing
Every day
You're the coward who points the finger
I understand that I'm helping you
You have delusions in some space-out fantasy
That's what you do
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all of his lies
It's been a long long long long long long time
It's been a long long long long long long time
A long time lie
Don't you never look in the mirror
Don't you know there'se so much more
Locked up inside that box behind your door
All your twisted conversations
When you're sitting all alone
Just remember we know your secret
While you moan
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all his lies
It's been a long long long long long long time
It's been a long long long long long long time
A long time lie
