…[Verse 1]
I tell a lie to myself
And no one else knows this seventh hell
And I go blind from what I've done
And this fire devours…
…me
I can't face myself for all this blood
[Chorus]
I tell a lie to get me through this night
And we get by, we all gotta survive…
…[Verse 2]
I tell a lie to your face
And no one doubts me, it gets erased
No one holds me, no one else can see
[Chorus]
I tell a lie…

With no pencil
On his men too
What that lead to
[Chorus: Quaan]
'Fore I tell a lie
Bitch I'd rather rot
On the guys
This ain't no disguise
I don't keep…
…on the producing the hits
If I get to writing it's never a miss
You know what it is
[Chorus: Quaan]
'Fore I tell a lie
Bitch I'd rather rot…
We'll split the pie
With all the guys
'Fore I tell a lie
That's seppuku
That's suicide
I'll take my life
'Fore I live a lie
I'll…

And I don't know why
But this just seems to happen
Every time
I try turn the situation around
And I tell a lie
And act like everything…
But this just seems to happen
Every time
I try turn the situation around
And I tell a lie
And act like everything is alright
You said I'd…
…with regret and aggression
Try letting go of life that's a life lesson
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know why, ohh
Every time, yeah
I tell a lie…

…tell a lie
Please be my alibi
I wanna make believe it's real
That's just the way I feel
There's nothing left…
…nothing that I say is true
And if I tell a lie
Please be my alibi
I wanna make believe it's real
That's just the way I feel
There's…
…is my worst enemy
I'm confused
About all the things I do
Cause nothing that I say is true
And if I tell a lie
Please be my alibi…

…[Chorus]
Will it give me injury
Just try it
Can I tell a lie to you
Just buy it
Are you coming on to me
Deny it
When I turn the master key…
…it
Can I tell a lie to you
Just buy it
Are you coming on to me
Deny it
When I turn the master key
You're higher than…
…mind
To what you can see
Statuam Te Liberum
Set yourself free
[Chorus]
Will it give me injury
Just try it
Can I tell a lie…

…tell a lie
Please be my alibi
I wanna make believe it's real
That's just the way I feel
There's nothing left…
…'Cause nothing that I say is true
And if I tell a lie
Please be my alibi
I wanna make believe it's real
That's just the way I feel…
…identity
The truth is my worst enemy
I'm confused
About all the things I do
'Cause nothing that I say is true
And if I tell a lie…

…tell a lie
It's insane, for you to come back
It's profane, to say it's love
Because the only thing sicker than waiting…
…for you to try
And it's a shame 'cause I know you're gonna walk away
The minute that I tell a lie
It's insane, for you to come back
It's profane…
…tell a lie
It's insane, for you to come back
It's profane, to say it's love
Because the only thing sicker than waiting…

…tell a lie
It's insane
For you to come back it's profane to say it's love
Because the only thing sicker than…
It's so vain for you to try
And it's a shame 'cause i know you're gonna walk away
The minute that I tell a lie
It's insane…
…tell a lie
It's insane
For you to come back it's profane to say it's love
Because the only thing sicker than…

When I tell a lie
The truth won't come out

She can live in my life
She can be my

…you're right
I tell a lie
It may..yay end
You wanna shake it right down
You wanna leave me somehow

You should.. call

I tell a lie
It may..yay end
You wanna shake it right down
You wanna leave me somehow…

…on the last flight
Won't get a response from me, ain't no confessions
Before I tell a lie, won't tell you nothin'
Any time I got you, girl you…
…no confessions
Before I tell a lie, won't tell you nothin'
Any time I got you, girl you my possession
Even if I hit you once, you part…

Cut my throat if I tell a lie
Set it free
Lost ambition
I overthought my place in your life
Set it free
Superstition
I gave upon…
…gave up all of mine
Cut my throat if I tell a lie
Set it free
Lost ambition
I overthought my place in your life
Set…

…it out this tunnel
No, I'm not expecting you to love me, nah
I tell a lie right before I tell a promise, look
[Chorus]
I don't need a cosign, two hoes…
…it out this tunnel
No, I'm not expecting you to love me, nah
I tell a lie right before I tell a promise, look

I don't need a cosign, two hoes…

…I tell a lie
I'm a needle in the heart
You're a shadow in the dark
In a woodchip house
In the garden we hide
With our shoes…
…through the ground
I tell a lie
On your bed so small
With your heroes on the wall
In the fading light
Through the window I see…

…for a walk
Just to see the look that's on your face
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie…
…with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts
Sometimes I can't be straight, I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes…
