The Big Lie

"THE BIG LIE"
(Bassett/Gibbs/Hurley)

I could charm the skin right off a snake
Twist the truth around and watch it break
But I still can't get through to you

I could talk a Zebra from its stripes
Convince today to turn into tonight
Still there's something I just can't do

And you see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Is something I could never be

I could talk the clouds down from the sky
I could stop the breeze as it blows by
But you know this act is nothing new

I could be the dream you had last night
And whisper every word exactly right
But you know dreams don't always come true

And you see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Is something I could never be

I could steal your heart but not this time
You deserve much more than worn out lines
But that's all that I've got to give

You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Anyone that you could need is something I could never be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anyone that you could need is something I could never be
