Lies
Lies, I call them lies
When they're different from the truth
And when they are coming from you
I call them lies

Pain, I call it pain
When the lies that I believed
Turn out to be a joke on me
I call it pain

These are the words that describe
All of the changes you put me through
There's one more word that I hope
Will get my message through to you

And that's a tear, it's called a tear
I took the lies and then combine 'em
Now there's something that I'm crying
It's called a tear
