lyrics

I could tell a lie
I could sing a lie
I could live a lie
Or even believe a lie

And I bet you’d never know
'Cause I don't even know what lies I've told

I wrote my story on a golden scroll
I hid my face behind a microphone
I sang my song
I took my place on the stage, but I didn't tell it all

I could tell a lie
And you'd never know

You might love me, you might need my love
With your hands in mine, you think you’re better off
But I’ll break your heart
So you’d better let go, you had better run

‘Cause sometimes I lie
Whether or not I want

I am not a good man
All fall short
I am not a priest nor prophet nor king
So please ignore the things I preach
From this pulpit of sticks and stones that I'm trying to leave

I know I've lied
And I'm sorry
