Telling Lies

They stand before the alter They stand before themselves For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health Words are mostly meaningless the only truth that really is (We're all getting) by telling lies, telling lies (Everyone we love) is telling lies, telling lies Maybe that's why I never felt like I could look you in the eyes (Everyone alive) is telling lies She feels the whole world on her shoulders as she tucks her kid in bed It gets better when you're older and they believe the words she says Words are mostly meaningless, the only truth that really is (We don't really mind) telling lies, telling lies ('Cause we're all getting by) telling lies, telling lies Maybe that's why I never felt like I could trust any friend of mine (everyone alive) is telling lies, telling lies She walks naked in the bedroom as I'm lying on my back And says "baby please by honest have I been getting fat?" But my words are mostly meaningless the only truth that really is (Everyone we love) is telling lies, telling lies (Everyone we know) is telling lies, telling lies Maybe that is why I can justify the way I live my life ('Cause everyone alive) is telling lies --- Telling Lies - Sick Puppies
