When I Lied To Everyone
Adam Marsland

I was a guy with an eye

to everything that I could hold

I took pleasures and measures of which I never told

I played, and I strayed, even farther from the fold

Bolder and colder than thou


Then one day, I'd betrayed everything that I'd held dear

I got up to comb my hair and put my fist through the mirror

I pulled back from the edge and made a pledge to be sincere

God-fearing and clearing my brow


I made amends to my friends. Yeah, I prayed and cried

When I couldn't make it right I just apologized

I thought I did the noble thing, yeah, but to my surprise


Everything was easy when I lied to everyone

When I walled off the world from the things

I'd thought and done

There were smiles on every face,

there was laughing in the sun...when I lied to everyone


There was a girl, a sweet girl,

yeah she loved me hard and well

And if I'd asked her to she would have followed me to hell

Then I became a better man

and there were hard truths to tell

To be close as she thought we already were


She'd had cause to believe that we were soul mates kissing

No intent to deceive, only lies of omission

I begged her not to leave, she refused to listen


There was a boy, lovely boy,

that I used to call a friend

mom and dad threw him out

‘cause he loved other men

He fell to his knees outside and cried,

but this is who I am, yet they never spoke again


Yeah, we all have our illusions

and we hold 'em real close

some people die from a reality overdose

And as the years roll by I bet the times you'll miss the most are when you lied to everyone
