Only Lies Songtext

von Robert Ellis

You tell yourself that you can trust him
That you know him better than anybody can
You don't believe the things they tell you
When the evidence is stacked against your man
Oh, I've seen it with my own eyes
And I do not want to tell you last
But you asked me here to help you to feel better

ONLY LIES can comfort you
ONLY LIES will see you through
Just because a thing's convenient
Well, that doesn't make it true
ONLY LIES can comfort you

Well, that's fine if that's what you want
I'm sure there's some good reason for where he's gone
Maybe he was driving and the car broke down
And he's stuck on the interstate outside of town
Oh and what good is a truth when it causes so much pain for you
Your optimism's up against a wall

ONLY LIES can comfort you
ONLY LIES will see you through
Just because a thing's convenient
Well, that doesn't make it true
ONLY LIES can comfort you

ONLY LIES can comfort you
ONLY LIES will see you through
Just because a thing's convenient
Well, that doesn't make it true
ONLY LIES can comfort you
ONLY LIES will see you through
ONLY LIES can comfort you
