Matthew West The Lie Lyrics

The Lie Lyrics

Everybody's doing it 

Everybody's going out tonight 

All your friends 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 



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" 



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 



Like a thief it will come to steal and kill and destroy 

But you don't have to let it take your joy 

Anymore 



[spoken] 

Oh no 

You were meant for so much more than this 

You were meant for so much more than this 

I promise this 

I promise this 

You were meant for so much more 

So don't give in 

No don't give in 

When you stand your ground you won't stand alone 



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
