Lyrics
The truth is something that we seek
But never really find
The words we speak, they are all lies
The truth gets left behind
And I don't know the truth
It's always on my mind
And I just know the truth
is something i can't find
The truth is something we say we want
But never really find
The truth is what we're seeking for
The lies get left behind
But if we tell the truth too much
Our lives will be maligned
The truth it hurts, and that's the truth
Would you rather have the lie?
Lies are something we understand
They never let us down
The world is built on lies it seems
They make the world go round
And I don't know the truth
It's always on my mind
And I just know the truth
is something i can't find
The truth is something we say we want
But never really find
The truth is what we're seeking for
The lies get left behind
But if we tell the truth too much
Our lives will be maligned
The truth it hurts, and that's the truth
Would you rather have the lie?
The truth is something we say we want
But never really find
The truth is what we're seeking for
The lies get left behind
But if we tell the truth too much
Our lives will be maligned
The truth it hurts, and that's the truth
Would you rather have the lie?
The truth is something we say we want
But never really find
The truth is what we're seeking for
The lies get left behind
But if we tell the truth too much
Our lives will be maligned
The truth it hurts, and that's the truth
Would you rather have the lie?
