The Lies

Everybody's trying to help
But what can they do
I would send them straight to hell
If it weren't for you
Everybody thinks they understand
What I'm going through
But see what they don't get
Is I was born misunderstood

Oh the lies we tell ourselves
The lies we tell ourselves
Oh the lies we tell ourselves
Like adding rain to the storm

I'm sure I'm the only one who's lost a grandfather
I must be the only one who's ever had their heart broken
When I feel their embrace oh it stings my skin
Lord I've heard of your grace but it can't be enough for my sin

Oh the lies we tell ourselves
The lies we tell ourselves
Oh the lies we tell ourselves
Like adding bricks to the wall

Come and heal my heart Father it needs comfort
It's troubled by the wind the Moon and the tides
I've run out of the joy that the world has to offer
Right now I need the peace to help me sleep at night

Not the lies I tell myself
The lies I tell myself
Oh the lies I tell myself
The lies I tell myself
To make sense of it all
