Lyrics

Truth and Lies I've been thinking lately about the way that I speak to you All those words I say, revealing my flaws Is it disrespectful to be so open with all of my thoughts Maybe you believe me when I say that I love you Maybe you believe me when I say that I tried But I don't want to see a burning fire when I look in your eyes I've been hearing stories since I was a boy I've been playing with my soul like a toy Or better yet some leverage to secure my eternity Now I realize it all was a ruse Still it's hard to separate the lies from the truth To find my precious pearl when all I see is vanity I made You in my image and put You in a box Then I defined You so You would fit in my thoughts And then I wonder why my love grows cold so easily All-consuming fire is what You said of Yourself You said I AM and there is no-one else You said You are, and You were, and You're always gonna be I've been thinking lately about the weight of the truth and the lies Stuck between a rock and a compromise And I wonder which side is winning in this old fight Now I know You don't see things the way that I do And I wonder if the things I've learned about You are true But I hope that in the end I'll be standing on Your right side You said You are, and You were, and You're always gonna be We treat you like our friend but we forget that You said that You were a king
