We have to lie to just get by
You see it everywhere - in all the spheres of life
Is it your turn - do you burn
Don’t you feel it’s wrong – or have your feelings gone
You give yourself some leverage
You give yourself some space to hedge
You want to find your way off the ledge
You’ll try the truth – yes, you’ll try the pledge
[Music]
People lie, and use their guile
A way of life to beat the strife
They say it happens many times
They say they lie to avoid the fight
You give yourself some leverage
You give yourself some space to hedge
You want to find your way off the ledge
You’ll try the truth – yes, you’ll try the pledge
[Music]
The world of love is not of steel
A Universe, soft in feel
But love & lies are very real
When ‘love’ is ‘like’, lies are hard as steel
[Music]
The world of love is very real
You’ve been there too, and you liked the feel
But love & lies are also real
When ‘love’ is ‘like’, lies are hard as steel
You have to shake-off the power of love
It is so strong – it leaves no space
You have to hate the power of lust
It swallows you up, and leaves no trace
But you have to love, you have to heal
You have to give yourself to feel
You have to spread your wings to fly up high
You have to soar to reach the sky
The world of love is very real
You’ve been there too, and you liked the feel
But love & lies are also real
When ‘love’ is ‘like’, lies are hard as steel
[Music]
