Lies Lyrics

It's hard changing baby's mind
When I can't even change mine
And it's easy being easy
And now you got me dizzy
Nothing is only something
'Cause nothing hurts like murder
I'll be conservative
You'll be absurd
And it's lonely being lonely
When I was my only
I won't ask too much of you
And no I won't expect too much of you
Just come home soon.

Rest your feet and grow old with me
Older seems better than you could ever be
I see the way you're dying by your suicide eyes
And your lies, your lies, your lies

There's greatness in gold and silver I'm told
But I can't buy a break
Lover all the lovers
Well you're off to love another and another
And you make it look so easy being so easy
And now you got me dizzy

All about them hours you keep
And somebody seen you out there walking in your sleep
It's all about that company you keep
but I don't mind
When I find you lying next to me
You're lying next to me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

At parts I think this song reflects holding in feelings. I especially love the line, "Nothing is always something, cause nothing hurts like murder" (I believe the only should be always if I'm correct). When you're holding in feelings and saying 'nothing is wrong' usually that nothing is a lot deeper than just some dirt on your shoulder. Love this song, Love his album. All his songs are fabulous and all have such different sound.
