I Should Have Lied ~ Brother Beyond	(1988)

Sometimes, the picture that we draw of this world is not what we find
Not only the greatest fall, and our lives aren’t blessed at all
Somewhere, walking through a crowded room, I stop and stare
Well I don’t think it’s treason if I turn my back on all this
And try to resist

Chorus:
I should have lied
I should have broken every rule that I could find
Is this a crime
I’ve got to live my life this way

I should have lied
I should have broken every rule that I could find
I will not hide
Too many lives have gone this way

Somehow, when I turn the cards all up they’re facing down
And you turn away from me, but all it does is set me free
Somewhere, the hurting goes on endlessly, I couldn’t care
When life becomes hit or miss I turn my back on all of it
And try to resist

Chorus:
I should have lied
I should have broken every rule that I could find
Is this a crime
I’ve got to live my life this way

I should have lied
I should have broken every rule that I could find
I will not hide
Too many lives have gone this way

Grey as the sky, but much brighter
This feeling that burns a line to the day
That none of us is someone else’s fool

Black lies, grey lies, white lies
Anything to get me through
Black lies, grey lies, white lies
Anything to get me through
