Three Chords and a Half Truth
(Chorus x2)
Everything I'm telling you is a lie
Everything I'm telling you is a lie
Started out with a white lie that I knew you wouldn't doubt
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 your 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
(Chorus x2)
Everything I'm telling you is a lie
Everything I'm telling you is a lie
Started out with a white lie that I knew you wouldn't doubt
Can't remember what it was I was lying about
Take me at my word
I'll tell you what you want to hear
If you listen to what I say
There'll be nothing to fear
