Lies Lyrics
The street light
through my window
makes me feel secure
there's no one to distract me
I'm locking the door
you cannot barge into
my own little world
you can't take the joy
from the soul of this girl
telling me your lies, lies, lies
don't tell me your lies, lies, lies
My thoughts are all tangled
I don't know what I feel
you try to confuse me
'till I don't know what's real
you say what's good (for me)
you don't even know me
you don't even want the truth
that you need to feel the power
that was taken from you
Telling me your lies, lies, lies
Don't tell me lies, lies, lies...
So I'll pretend,
and we'll all be happy
but in the end
there's no telling when
you'll slip off the edge
and you start up again
but I'm not that same child
who just had no defense
Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies...
Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies...
All that's left is this knocking
of a heart you left on the shelf
you twisted your love
'cause you don't love yourself
Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies
Don't tell me lies, lies, lies...
Don't tell me lies...
through my window
makes me feel secure
there's no one to distract me
I'm locking the door
you cannot barge into
my own little world
you can't take the joy
from the soul of this girl
don't tell me your lies, lies, lies
I don't know what I feel
you try to confuse me
'till I don't know what's real
you say what's good (for me)
you don't even know me
you don't even want the truth
that you need to feel the power
that was taken from you
Don't tell me lies, lies, lies...
and we'll all be happy
but in the end
there's no telling when
you'll slip off the edge
and you start up again
but I'm not that same child
who just had no defense
Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies...
of a heart you left on the shelf
you twisted your love
'cause you don't love yourself
Don't tell me lies, lies, lies...
Don't tell me lies...

I heard that this song is about sexual abuse that Cyndi suffered from by her stepfather. Can anyone confirm this? I've never heard Cyndi talk about it...
I interpreted this song to be about incest, which Cyndi was a victim of. I believe it was her grandfather than committed the incest, not her stepfather, even though her stepfather was also abusive. It also seems to mention sex trafficking, talking about Stolen from Japan. At least that's how I see it.
