Lyrics
I WILL LIE
Words and Music by Beth Thornley
Stiff Hips Music, 2001
V1: I opened up my mouth, I opened it up way too wide.
There such a hole that some of my soul slipped on outside.
And now there?s nowhere to hide, I see that look in your eye.
As I try to shove it back, shove it back, back inside.
Chorus: I will lie to you until I believe and
I will lie until it?s all there will be.
And I?ll pretend until it fits like a second skin.
And I?ll reply each time this is how it?s always been.
And I will lie to you until I believe, I will lie until the lie
is me.
V2: Out of control my soul, I let it run out from within.
There such a mess while I deconstruct, reconstruct, start again.
Defective and disfigured and now you even know my name.
As I try to keep it up, keep it up, play the game. (to chorus)
Bridge: I cry, I cry for the part I know I will never have again.
I try, I try over and over again to stand true to the lie. (to V1 then chorus then out)
