Lies

Right now

There's an ad on every TV in every home

Tryna sell you a fix for whatever's wrong

Some potion, some pill

Send your dollar bill

Right now

There's a drink over ice on a bar in a glass

Every sip will erase your pain, your past

Have another round

But some things are hard to drown

I'm lost, I'm broke, I'm ugly, I'm old

Got an empty that nothin' can fill in my soul

I'm dumb, I'm numb, I'm weird and scared

Not pretty enough to be repaired

Can't win, can't change, all I do is fail

Can't put my crazy back on the shelf

Yeah, the cruelest lies of all the lies we tell

Are the one's we tell ourselves

Right now

There's a girl in a Buick parked out of sight

And swearin' she can't take it, not another night

Wants to close her eyes

Maybe see the perfect size

I'm lost, I'm broke, I'm ugly, I'm old

Got an empty that nothing can fill in my soul

I'm dumb, I'm numb, I'm weird and scared

Not pretty enough to be repaired

Can't win, can't change, all I do is fail

Can't put my crazy back on the shelf

Yeah, the cruelest lies of all the lies we tell

Are the one's we tell ourselves

Right now there's a couple in a kitchen

Going through the routine

Of a two story, two kid American dream

They were head over heels

Now they're coming apart at the seams

Wonder where all the feeling went

Thinking that it's time to split

But they ain't ready to quit

I'm strong, I'm sorry, I'm steady, I'm bold

Got a faith and fire that fills my soul

Yeah, it's okay to struggle, okay to be scared

Yeah, the busted and broken can be repaired

Can't win, can't change, all I do is fail

Yeah, that's what I used to tell myself

'Cause the cruelest lies of all the lies we tell

Yeah, the cruelest lies of all the lies we tell

Are the ones we tell ourselves

The ones we tell ourselves
