Lyrics
False or true
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.
I tell you secrets that don't even matter
I give you keepsakes but only to flatter
I don't believe in myself, I don't believe in myself
So why should anyone else
Will I be a thief for love
Soon or never, ever false or true
New tricks for old dogs, no sleight, no deceiving
I wish I were someone that you could believe in
I don't believe in myself, oh I don't believe in myself
So why should anyone else
Will I be a thief for love
Soon or never, ever false or true
False or true
