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
