Telling Lies - Sick Puppies

They stand before the altar

They stand before themselves

The richer or the poorer

In sickness and in health

Words are mostly meaningless

The only truth that really is

We’re all getting by

Telling lies, telling lies

Everyone we love

Is telling lies, telling lies

Maybe that’s why I

Never felt like I

Could look you in the eye

Everyone lies,

Telling lies.

She feels the whole world on her shoulders

As she talks about getting bad

It gets better when you’re older

And they believe the words she says

Words are mostly meaningless

The only truth that really is

We don’t really mind

Telling lies, telling lies

'Cause we’re all getting by

Telling lies, telling lies

Maybe that’s why I

Never felt like I

Could trust any friend of mine

Everyone lies,

Telling lies.

She walks naked in the bedroom

As I’m lying on my back

And says «Baby, please be honest,

Have I been getting fat?»

But my words are mostly meaningless

The only truth that really is;

Everyone we love

Is telling lies, telling lies

Everyone we know

Is telling lies, telling lies

Maybe that is why

I can justify

The way I live my life

'Cause everyone lies,

Telling lies.
