Lies (Country Song)

Another tall tale that you caught by the lake
You got a real good story that you say can't fake
Everything is golden and you say its for real but
I really don't believe it ‘cause I just don't feel like
A fool no more, you've had too much fun
Telling all those stories, man, you've had a good run.

Cause lies lies lies yeah nothing but lies
Coming left coming right just nothing but lies
Lying at dinner, lying at night
Lying every which way till nothing is right.
And those lies lies lies they just disguise
Everything going on behind them eyes
How should I trust you? Cause what is real?
Why is everything about how you feel?
You can tell me that you love me, and maybe that's true
But how should I believe it ‘cause its coming from you?

How can you think that you’re doing good?
That all this lying can be understood?
How can you expect me to understand
That my old father is a real bad man
You say that you are going to change
And I think that it’s really strange that those

Lies lies lies oh nothing but lies
Keep coming left coming right just nothing but lies
Still lying at dinner, still lying at night
Lying every which way till nothing is right.
And those lies lies lies they just disguise
Everything going on behind them eyes
How should I trust you? Cause what is real?
Why is everything about how you feel?
You can tell me that you love me, and maybe that's true
But how should I believe it ‘cause its coming from you?

You’re my dad but I can’t give you respect
All this lying pulled a rope tight around your neck
You think its fine to tell a lie or two
But after eight or nine you’ve got me coming unglued
You won’t listen to me, you can’t defend
Your intentions cause they all just start to bend

And nothing but lies lies lies oh nothing but lies
Coming in going out yeah nothing but lies
Lying at dinner lying at night
Lying every which way till nothing is right
Them lies lies lies oh lies lies lies
Coming left coming right yeah nothing but lies
Them crying eyes they just disguise
The cruel hard facts that are sorry lies
How can I trust you and give you respect
Daddy’s got a rope of them around his neck oh
Lies lies lies daddy nothing but lies
Why can’t you give me something else besides a lie?
Daddy please please please won’tcha tell me the truth?
Won’t you give me a reason to still love you?

You won’t call me you are so ashamed
All the years of guilt you finally took the blame
It’s almost too late to turn around now
I don’t know why I should trust you and I don’t know how
You and me we need to talk about things going on
Someone’s got to talk about

lies, lies, lies....
those lies, lies, lies lies lies!

    "Another tall tale that you caught by the lake" is a greeeeat first line; I loved it.

    I like the repitition as well, it kind of beats the anger at the liar into the reader's head and the wrongdoing into the reader's head.

    Great job sweetie!
