Song Lyrics

"The Lie"

by Matthew West
Album: Happy

Everybody's doing it
Everybody's going out tonight
All your friend's are feeling it
Whatever it is that makes you feel all right
Everybody knows that anything goes
Everything you want is just across the line
Step into the flow, go all the way tonight

Chorus:

Don't believe the lie
Don't buy in to what they sell you
It'll only make you cry
I've been there and I'm here to tell you
What you got inside your soul
Deep down you know
the truth won't hide
Don't believe the lie

Here comes the morning sun
Shining down on what you've done
And all you feel is empty
And you don't know why it felt like so much fun
Here comes that voice again, acting like your friend
With a whisper in your ear
"You fell too far this time"

Bridge:

Like a thief it will come to steal and kill and destroy
But you don't have to let it take your joy anymore
