Robert Ellis - Only Lies lyrics

rate me

You tell yourself that you can trust him

That you know him better than anybody can

You don't believe the things they tell you

When the evidence is stacked against your man

Oh, I've seen it with my own eyes and I do not want to tell you lies

But you asked me here to help you to feel better

Only lies can comfort you

Only lies will see you through

Just because a thing's convenient

Well, that doesn't make it true

Only lies can comfort you

Well, that’s fine if that's what you want

I'm sure there's some good reason for where he's gone

Maybe he was driving and the car broke down

And he's stuck on the interstate outside of town

Oh, and what good is the truth when it causes so much pain for you?

Your optimism's up against a wall

Only lies can comfort you

Only lies will see you through

Just because a thing's convenient

Well, that doesn't make it true

Only lies can comfort you

Only lies can comfort you

Only lies will see you through

Just because a thing's convenient

Well, that doesn't make it true

Only lies can comfort you
