lyrics

Living The Lie

I lied, when I told you I’d be home
The working day had been slow, I went to a casino
I lied, when I said I liked your friends
You said that they liked sharing, I found them overbearing

I lied, and it wasn't my first time
And it won't be the last

I'm just Living the lie
But everyone's believing it, so why would I stop feeding it
I'm just Living the lie
I'm sure there's implications on my health
But I'm beginning to believe it all myself

I lied, when I had my interview
My CV was impressive, borderline obsessive
I lied, when I said I'd paid the bills
I had to meet a loan shark, in a public car park

I lied, and it wasn't my first time
And it won't be the last

I'm just Living the lie
But everyone's believing it, so why would I stop feeding it
I'm just Living the lie
I'm sure there's implications on my health
But I'm beginning to believe it all…

One day you said you'd had enough: time to admit defeat
Could not continue living in a world of pure deceit
I said that I could change and we could give it one more try
But we both knew that wasn't true
It was just another lie

I'm just Living the lie
But everyone's believing it, so why would I stop feeding it
I'm just Living the lie
A mountain near impossible to climb
The lies they just get bigger all the time
I'm sure there's implications on my health
But I'm beginning to believe it all myself
