The Lie

Everybody's doing it
Everybody's going out tonight
All your friends are feeling it
Whatever it is that makes you feel all right
Everybody knows that anything goes
And everything you want is just across the line
Step into the flow, go all the way tonight
Chorus:
Don't believe the lie
Don't buy in to what they sell you
It'll only make you cry
I've been there and I'm here to tell you
What you got inside your soul
Deep down you know
The truth won't hide
Don't believe the lie
Don't believe the lie
Oh here comes the morning sun
It's shining down over what you've done
And all you feel is empty
And you don't know why it felt like so much fun
Here comes that voice again, it's acting like your friend
With a whisper in your ear
"You fell too far this time"
Chorus:
Don't believe the lie
Don't buy in to what they sell you
It'll only make you cry
I've been there and I'm here to tell you
What you got inside your soul
Deep down you know
The truth won't hide
Don't believe the lie
No don't believe the lie
Bridge:
Like a thief it will come to steal and kill and destroy
Oh, but you don't have to let it take your joy anymore
Oh now, you were made for so much more than this
You were made for so much more than this
I promise this
I promise this
You were made for so much more
So don't give in
No don't give in
When you stand your ground you won't stand alone
Chorus:
Don't believe the lie
Don't buy in to what they sell you
It'll only make you cry
I've been there and I'm here to tell you
What you got inside your soul
Deep down you know
The truth won't hide
So don't believe the lie
Oh no no no no no no
Don't believe the lie
You were made for so much more than this
You were made for so much more than this
I promise this
I promise this
You were made for so much more
