Living Lies Lyrics

There was a time I had my head stuck in the clouds
and I don't believe I ever found my way out
and if I could then I would
find my way back up again
oh if I could then I would
find a way to rest my head

I've been watching my life
flashing before my eyes
I don't know why
I just can't get it right

I've made up my mind I'm gunna turn this thing around
cause I still believe that I could find my way out
and if I could then I would
get back on my feet again
oh if I could then I would
finally wash this from my hands

I've been watching my life
flashing before my eyes
I don't know why
I just can't get it right
I've been watching my life
flashing before my eyes
I don't know why
I just can't get it right

tonight I'll set this right
and I will try and open the door
so you can come inside
and now I'll say one more time
I've grown so tired of living lies
and I know you can see it in my eyes

I've been watching my life
flashing before my eyes
I don't know why
I just can't get it right
I've been watching my life
flashing before my eyes
I don't know why
I just can't get it right

Lying Through My Teeth

There was a time I had my head stuck in the clouds
and I don't believe I ever found my way out
and if I could then I would
find my way back up again
oh if I could then I would
find a way to rest my head

I've been watching my life
flashing before my eyes
I don't know why
I just can't get it right

I've made up my mind I'm gunna turn this thing around
cause I still believe that I could find my way out
and if I could then I would 
get back on my feet again
oh if I could then I would 
finally wash this from my hands

I've been watching my life
flashing before my eyes
I don't know why
I just can't get it right
I've been watching my life
flashing before my eyes
I don't know why
I just can't get it right

tonight I'll set this right
and I will try and open the door
so you can come inside
and now I'll say one more time 
I've grown so tired of living lies
and I know you can see it in my eyes

I've been watching my life
flashing before my eyes
I don't know why
I just can't get it right
I've been watching my life
flashing before my eyes
I don't know why
I just can't get it right

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.
