Tell Me A Lie Lyrics
Dressing my voice up on the phone
Underneath the envy rotting my bones
I'd do anything to get you alone, if just for awhile
Blame it on the way that I talk
Blame it on the way that I look
You can blame it on the stuff that I drank
And the pills that I took
Tell me a lie, if it's true
Have you done all the things I never wanted you to?
Baby is he all that you dreamed?
I think about you every night that I go to sleep
You're laying there wrapped up in his arms
How we used to be
Are you seriously falling in love?
Or do you do it just to get back at me?
I deserve to take it I guess, I just wish we could be.
Tell me a lie, if it's true
Have you done all the things I never wanted to do?
I know you hate it when I play you my songs
There ain't a one of 'em when you weren't involved
I bet you wish I'd take the issue at hand and just get it solved
Trippin' myself up on my words
Writin' checks that I couldn't cash
I rip 'em up and throw 'em away
Then I dig 'em out of the trash
You won't believe me if I promise again
I'm telling you that I can change
I'd scream it at the top of my lungs
But it's out of my range
Tell me a lie if it's true
Have you done all the things I never wanted you to?
Tell me a lie if it's true
Have you done all the things I never wanted you to?
Underneath the envy rotting my bones
I'd do anything to get you alone, if just for awhile
Blame it on the way that I look
You can blame it on the stuff that I drank
And the pills that I took
Have you done all the things I never wanted you to?
I think about you every night that I go to sleep
You're laying there wrapped up in his arms
How we used to be
Or do you do it just to get back at me?
I deserve to take it I guess, I just wish we could be.
Have you done all the things I never wanted to do?
There ain't a one of 'em when you weren't involved
I bet you wish I'd take the issue at hand and just get it solved
Writin' checks that I couldn't cash

Then I dig 'em out of the trash
I'm telling you that I can change
I'd scream it at the top of my lungs
But it's out of my range
Have you done all the things I never wanted you to?
Tell me a lie if it's true
Have you done all the things I never wanted you to?

i really like his voice. his singing is so clear and pure and his emotions are thrown out in his lyrics not holding anything back. he has been left; maybe he deserved it, but he still misses her and is thinking about her and the new guy she's with. there may be a hint that she still likes him though.
anyway - his voice is amazing. he is probably my new fav!
beautiful beautiful song. it's UP there with better than love, another absolute fave. :)
This is a really beautiful song.
Unfortunately, my parents always told me and my brothers that ppl just don’t change…when they are cheaters…I found this to be true! If they’ll do it with you they’ll do it to you as they say and that is so so dead on. I made the biggest mistake of my life when my parents set me up with a man twice my age, of course we didn’t know the whole entire truth of what are you gonna do as a wife and family. But when I found out thank God it was on time! Allegedly he put his wife three years and years of pain and heartache all the cheating he did on her and how he treated her I could never ever be with someone like that! I thank God every day I found out before it was too late! He certainly does seem to be a good person but the fact that he never apologized to his wife tells me all I need to know… run run run as fast as you can
@Stephaniejones When you find the one that provides all that you want and need, people do change.
