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
