take two

You really shouldn’t believe me
what I’m saying isn’t true
although I hate to do it
I’m lying to you
I cannot stop myself
the lies roll off my tongue so fast
the truth lies deep within them
please try to find it, it won’t last
you know I’m lying, don’t you?
can’t you see it in my eyes?
I wish that you would stop me
don’t believe my lies
your trust in me is false
just false hope, yet you don’t know
I’m trying to save you
from getting lost in my show
that’s all I’m doing, you see
is putting on an act
I’m telling tall, tall tales
pulled out of a black top hat
stop me before it’s too late
catch me, shut me up
make me tell you the truth
that I hide under the “yo, what’s up”
unveil the facts at last
pulled out from behind my disguise
because that’s all there really is
beneath the falsehood lies
