This Is A Lie lyrics

How each of us decides

I've never been sure

The part we play

The way we are

How each of us denies any other way in the world

Why each of us must choose

I've never understood

One special friend

One true love

Why each of us must lose everyone else in the world

However unsure

However unwise

Day after day play out our lives

However confused

Pretending to know to the end

But this isn't truth this isn't right

This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real

This is a lie

How each of us believes

I've never really known

In heaven unseen and hell unknown

How each of us dreams to understand anything at all

Why each of us decides

I've never been sure

The part we take

The way we are

Why each of us denies every other way in the world

However unsure

However unwise

Day after day play out our lives

However confused

Pretending to know to the end

But this isn't truth this isn't right

This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real

This is a lie

This isn't truth this isn't right

This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real

This is a lie
