Lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie

I wrote a song about bein' broke

It kinda started out as a joke

I didn't go to college, what would I know

About student loans?

Just wanted you all to relate to me

Most of my songs aren't true

I faked heartbreak I didn't go through

Even when I told you I've never been in love

I already was

Just wanted you all to relate to me

I don't mean to mislead you, I promise

So uncomfortable bein' dishonest, ah-ah

And I think I just realized I would say anything

To come off a little more interesting

That's why I tell

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie

I'd rather tell myself if I ignore

These thoughts they'll go away

And my toxic friends have changed

Truth is I hate confrontation

Deal with it tomorrow

'Cause there's nothing I can do

That's my favorite excuse

Feeding my procrastination

I'll be happy when I've had success

Is that my way to admit I'm depressed?

My therapy's retail, if it's on sale

I pay the price and call that happiness, ah-ah

And I think I just realized I would do anything

To keep hiding the pain I've been burying

That's why I tell

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Over and over, I keep on repeatin'

Until it all sounds like the truth to me, and

I cover them up like I'm puttin' out fires

The last thing I want is for you to think I'm a liar

That's why I tell

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie

That's why I tell

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

(I don't mean to mislead you, I promise)

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

(I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise)

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

(So uncomfortable being dishonest)

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies

(Dishonest, dishonest, dishonest, dishonest)

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies
