| "Pretty Liar" Performed by 1000 Clowns (featuring Jude) (Jude's lyrics will be in red) I was five years old hanging out at the park My pop was taking my picture before it got too dark We finished the roll and we was through We went back to the house I watched Scooby Doo What else could I do I was five years old Except eat, sleep and play And hope I didn't catch a cold But even if I did It never was a problem Because my pop was my pop He'd be there to solve 'em See the problem happened fifteen years post I was in college acting silly stupid most Even back then I never knew nothing was wrong I never even thought I'd be writing this song When I got outta class my friend said I had a call Went to the pay phone at the end of the hall Picked up the phone and I heard my mom crying And all I could hear was that my pop was dying I can't help it You're all that I need Though you tried for the moments To make me believe And you were such a pretty liar And I'm so alone without you Nobody told me you wanted to go I went back home as fast as I can When I got there I began to understand He was lying in his bed all alone Just a pair of teeth and some skin stuck to the bone A couple days later was his last Too tired of it all my pop just took his last breath The ambulance came bagged him up and took him away I couldn't even speak that day They put the man in a mahagony case I stood next to my mom as the tears took to my face It didn't seem right, it seemed so wrong My pop was my pop but now he was gone I can't help it You're all that I need Though you tried for the moments To make me believe And you were such a pretty liar And I'm so alone without you now So alone without you now Nobody told me you wanted to go Nobody told me you wanted to go Found out he died from AIDS later that summer I was on my lunch break calling to a highlighted number Explained the symptoms and they dropped the bomb Hung up the phone and I called my mom "I know the truth stop playing this game," There was a moment of silence then she said "He was so ashamed He asked everyone to lie to you." My whole damn family lied to me Today my friends tell me memories are just as strong I smile at them and I think they're wrong He's gone and I'll never go home Even in a room full of people I feel alone But I'm trying my best I can to deal Taking it one day at a time to heal Cuz now I know he's looking down on me from Heaven He sees me doing well, saying "That a boy, Kevin." I can't help it You're all that I need Though you tried for the moments To make me believe And you were such a pretty liar And I'm so alone without you now Nobody told me you wanted to go Such a pretty liar Such a pretty liar Such a pretty liar Such a pretty...liar |
