Lyrics

Why are you telling me?

Is it really true
I don't believe you
Lies can cut as deep
As the truth

She won't lie to me
I'll ask her then you'll see
Rumours shouldn't be
Believed

So why are you telling me these lies
What are you hoping for
Are you trying to ease my way
Or shoot me down

What do you hope to gain
Are you working off some pain
Are you a helping hand
Or a spiteful clown

You don't know the truth
So why spin me a line
Life has better ways
To pass the time

You say it's what you've heard
But why spell out every word
You must enjoy hurting me
Or were you unaware

It's not really true
I don't believe you
Lies can cut as deep
As the truth
