Three Chords and a Half Truth

Everything I'm telling you is a lie

Started out with a white lie

That I knew you wouldn't doubt

I can't remember what it was

I was lying about

Everything I'm telling you is a lie

Started out with a white lie

That I knew you wouldn't doubt

I can't remember what it was

I was lying about

I think it went something like this:

"We'll be better off somehow

No more suffering no more pain

No more worry or doubt"

You're too hard on yourself

It's not you're fault

You've been played for a fool

With empty heads and empty hands

Nobody gets to choose

There still might be an answer here

Try looking for a different kind of truth

Everything I'm telling you is a lie

Started out with a white lie

That I knew you wouldn't doubt

I can't remember what it was

I was lying about

Everything I'm telling you is a lie

Started out with a white lie

That I knew you wouldn't doubt

I can't remember what it was

I was lying about

Take me at word

I'll tell you what you want to hear

If you listen to what I say

There will be nothing to fear

Everything I'm telling you is a lie
