I'm caught up in a web of deceit
I'm sure nobody knows
And lying on the ground at my feet
My plan, all full of holes
'Cos I-I-I lied
I didn't know what else to say
I lied just to make it through today
Oh, I lied 'cos it helped me through the night
I lied, I lied, I lied, oh...
I-I-I lied
I wonder when the world will know the truth?
Who'll piece out all the clues?
Who'll see it all as poor, misguided youth
And who'll know I'm just a fool?
'Cos I-I-I lied
I didn't know what else to say
I lied just to make it through today
Oh, I lied 'cos it helped me through the night
I lied, I lied, I lied, oh...
I-I-I lied
How long can I continue in my shell?
There comes a point when hiding is the hell
There comes a point the body is the cell
I'm shouting now, but still I cannot tell
So now you see the man that I've become
I'm everything you see
Through hiding from what's under this cruel sun
Will you turn away from me?
'Cos I-I-I lied
I didn't know what else to say
I lied just to make it through today
Oh, I lied 'cos it helped me through the night
I lied, I lied, I lied, oh...
I-I-I
I-I-I
I-I-I lied
