Except me, myself, and you
And the last is something
I swear I don't want to do
You see, I'm tired of lying
With the words I abuse
But you'd never believe me
If I told you the truth
Chorus:
So what to say, if not a lie?
I've deceived so long
I don't remember how to speak my mind
I always find as I face you
It's easier just to avoid the truth
So how can I speak now?
Without metaphors and similes
And poetry beyond the tongue
I'm handicapped in speech
You see, poetry can also lie
And is easily disguised
But I don't know what to say
If not in verse and rhymed
Chorus:
So what to say, if not a lie?
I've deceived so long
I don't remember how to speak my mind
I always find as I face you
It's easier just to avoid the truth
So what to say, if not a lie?
How to speak, with no pride?
How to reveal all my mind?
How can I even promise to try?
So what to say?
I don't want to lie
I want to face you
And tell you the truth
So what to say?
And I won't lie
When the time comes
I won't hide
