Don't Believe the Things They Tell You (They Lie)

The things I've almost told you

All the things I've thought about you

It takes all my strength to face you, to hold still

And when you give me your attention

Things get lost in translation, again

Tell you I don't love you at all, but I do love you

I don't want to be a liar, but I do it every day

I don't want to be so tired, but I can't sleep any way

Don't believe the things they tell you they lie

Don't believe the things they tell you, no

The thing my mother told me

Was that everyone would love me

But in the dark I feel so lonely, I'm numb

She said it with so much conviction

But I feel like something's missing, again

Oh, I don't love me at all, I don't love me

I don't want to be a liar, but I do it every day

I don't want to be so tired, but I can't sleep any way

Don't believe the things they tell you they lie

Don't believe the things they tell you, no

I'm a liar, no one believe me

I'm a liar, no one believe me

Don't believe the things they tell you

Don't believe the things they tell you

Don't believe the things I tell you, I lie

Don't believe the things I tell you, no
