You always tell the truth and you really think you’re honest
You only tell the truth when it really suits you too
So hard to speak your mind even to your closest friend
Dressing up what you say just in case you offend

 

Every time you lie there’s a part of that has to hide
And you tell yourself it’s a necessary part of life
Your inner child died from your fearful pride

 

One thousand tiny lies and you think it doesn’t matter
The guilt becomes so great your virtue will be scattered
Flimsy show of righteousness
Second-rate truth that leads to shame
Crucify your inner self or the angel that was guiding you

 

Every time you lie there’s a part of that has to die
And you tell yourself it’s a necessary part of life
Your inner child died from your fearful pride
