Q&A

I'm Lying to You 'Cause I'm Lost Lyrics

Shaking in the evening sun
Counting all the times I run
Trying to be honest
Selfish from a point of view
How'd it get away from me?
Held up in the old Q.C
Watching out the window
Crying in my hotel room

Oh I'll do anything that you want
Except what you're wanting from me

I'm lying to you 'cause I'm lost
Lying to you 'cause I'm lost
Lying to you 'cause I'm lost

My mother seems to know it all
Sensed it from a distant call
How's she so objective?
Tell me how you really feel
And I was once a maker of my time
A celebrated man of mind
Always feels a dream until the real sets in

Oh I'll be anything
Except what you want me to be

I'm lying to you 'cause I'm lost
Lying to you 'cause I'm lost
Lying to you 'cause I'm lost
So tell me darling what's it cost
When I'm lying to you 'cause I'm lost?
Lying to you 'cause I'm lost
I'm lost, I'm lost

I'll be anything
I'll be anything
Except what you want me to be

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.
