Lyrics

Compassionate Lies

taking the time
consider the effect on me
a compassion i don't often see
did you think i couldn't see it in your eyes
did you think i didn't know that you were
telling me lies

did you believe i'd depend on you?
burdened by the wonder
how to handle the truth
did you think i wouldn't understand
can't you see just how thinnly it's disguised
don't you understand
that you never have to tell me any lies

now is the time
begin the task of knowing
over drinks i find it continues to this day
i am grateful but you never have to say

Compassionate Lies
did you believe i'd depend on you
burdened by the wonder
how to handle the truth
did you think i wouldn't understand
can't you see just how thinnly it's disguised?
don't you understand?
that you never have to tell me any lies

Compassionate Lies
did you think i wouldn't understand,i would understand
Compassionate lies
i am stronger than you know
Compassionate Lies.........
