[Verse 1] It all starts with that little white lie Spare their feelings, don’t make them cry But at the end of the day It was dishonesty You say it quick, then look away A tiny cut that won’t stay When you look in the mirror Surely you see [Pre-Chorus] What you feed will grow What you hide will show One small slip of the tongue becomes a wreck, you know [Chorus] A lie is a lie (Don’t dress it up) Dishonesty (Is it really enough) Says who you are In reality If you lie, you’re a liar Own your dishonesty A lie is a lie (No clean disguise) Dishonesty (It multiplies) Says who you are In reality If you lie, you’re a liar Own your dishonesty [Verse 2] Is it worth it in the end When it’s all the same? You trade the truth for comfort Then you carry the blame Why can’t you tell me the truth In the end I’m gonna know The story bends, the trust breaks And the truth gets sold [Pre-Chorus] What you feed will grow What you hide will show One small slip of tongue Turns into a wreck you know [Chorus] A lie is a lie (Don’t dress it up) Dishonesty (Is it really enough) Says who you are In reality If you lie, you’re a liar Own your own shame A lie is a lie (No clean disguise) Dishonesty (It multiplies) Says who you are In reality If you lie, you’re a liar Own your own shame [Bridge] Look it dead in the eye Speak the truth this time No more so-called mercy Built on dishonest lines The truth can sting But it keeps you free And the mirror stays clear When you choose honesty [Chorus] A lie is a lie (Don’t dress it up) Dishonesty (Is it still enough) Says who you are In reality If you lie, you’re a liar Own your own shame A lie is a lie (No clean disguise) Dishonesty (It multiplies) Says who you are In reality If you lie, you’re a liar Own your own shame [Outro] Is this really who you want to be? Can you even tell the truth Anymore? … Don’t lie to me!
