I Will Lie Lyrics

Beth Thornley I Will Lie

I opened up my mouth, I opened it up way too wide.
There's 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, shove it 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 that this is how it's always been.
I will lie to you until I believe, I will lie until the lie is me.

Out of control my soul, I let it run out from within.
There's 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, and play the game.

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.
