The lies we tell ourselves
When nobody's listening,
The lies we tell ourselves
Unwilling to witness it

I'm a looser - I'm not worthy
I'm the accuser, judge and jury
Could please come and assure me
Cause your the one who's going to cure me

The lies we tell ourselves
When nobody's listening,
The lies we tell ourselves
Unwilling to witness it

I am empty have no meaning
But the truth is full of feelings
The hurt is what I am concealing
I'd rather run than risk revealing

The lies we tell ourselves
When nobody's listening,
The lies we tell ourselves
Unwilling to witness it

Flooded by the pain of life
Overwhelmed by all its strife
Lost inside my fantasies
Reality whispers "come home to me"

I'll be happy with more money
Find the land of Milk and Honey
Bigger, Better, Newer, Shiny
These are all the chains that bind me

The lies we tell ourselves
When nobody's listening,
The lies we tell ourselves
Unwilling to witness it
