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 being broke

It kind of 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 being 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 favourite 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 repeating

Until it all sounds like the truth to me, and

I cover them up like I'm putting 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
