Tell Me Lies Lyrics

My life's a mystery
I just can't figure it out
It's strange to me
That the visions I see
Seduce me but for now
I try to focus
But I can only do a little at one time
Everyone keeps telling me
Everything's gonna be alright
Just sit right down
And we'll tell you lies
I'm at a junction
But I just don't know which path
I'm pround of all the work I've done
But it never seems to last
It's not for money it's for love
And it just might break my back
Sometimes it feels as though
Something might go my way
I'll never give it up
Too many things I've yet to say
I've done it by myself
And I can do it all again

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.

This song sums up the entire DIY attitude that has made the true punk scene a memorable part of our history. I'm at a junction But I just don't know which path I'm pround of all the work I've done But it never seems to last It's not for money it's for love And it just might break my back Sometimes it feels as though Something might go my way I'll never give it up Too many things I've yet to say I've done it by myself And I can do it all again

simply put...and beautiful.
