Lyrics
No one taught me how to lie
No one instructed or guided me on the art of deceiving others.
I was a talented child
Even as a young person, I possessed natural ability or skill.
Imagination found words
I used my imagination to create stories or fabricate tales.
And my stories went wild
My imagination ran freely, and my stories became exaggerated or extravagant.
I just did it for laughs
I engaged in deceit for the sake of amusement or enjoyment.
Did it for fun
I deceived people for the sheer pleasure or enjoyment of it.
Did it 'cause I liked to fool everyone
I deceived others because I enjoyed tricking or fooling everyone.
Not that anyone believed me
Even though people didn’t believe me, they seemed to comprehend my actions.
They just seemed to understand
People didn’t believe my lies, but they seemed to empathize or understand my situation.
That all the times I spent alone inside my head
During times of solitude, my imagination filled with falsehoods; lies were my only companions.
Lies were all I had
In my isolated world, lies were the primary content or substance of my existence.
No one taught me how to lie
No one provided formal instruction in the art of lying; it came naturally to me.
I just did it with ease
Deception came effortlessly or smoothly to me.
Did it out of principle
I deceived others as a matter of principle or as a habit.
Did it with tease
I lied in a playful or teasing manner.
Made me feel so worthwhile
Lying made me feel significant or important.
Made me feel ten feet tall
Lying made me feel exceptionally confident or powerful.
Made me feel I could be or do anything at all
Lying provided me with a sense of unlimited potential or capability.
"Just a nervous disorder"
A medical professional dismissed my behavior as a result of anxiety or nervousness.
The doctor said as he marched out the door
The doctor's diagnosis as he left the room.
As I put on my poor and frightened child
I portrayed myself as a distressed and frightened child while counting the lies I told.
And I counted them all once more
I recounted the lies I fabricated or told.
And here I am with you
Presently, I find myself in your company.
Thrown so many lies your way
I have directed numerous lies towards you.
I believe most of them too
I've come to believe many of the lies I've told you.
You say you love me
You claim to love me.
Girl you've been looking at a stranger
You've been romantically involved with someone you don't truly know due to my deception.
If this hurts you
If my deception causes you pain.
Somehow it hurts me more
Somehow, your pain affects me more deeply.
I never knew what honesty was for
I never comprehended the value of truthfulness until faced with your gaze.
Until the moment that you look at me
The moment you look at me, I realize the importance of honesty.
You say you wanna be a part of me
You express a desire to be connected with me.
Girl whatever's left of me is yours
Whatever remains of my true self belongs to you.
All the kids would laugh at me
Other children ridiculed me, leading to my silence out of fear of breaking down emotionally.
I wouldn't talk for fear I'd cry
I refrained from speaking to avoid showing my vulnerability and crying.
Nobody, nobody taught me how to lie
No one provided lessons on how to deceive others.
I never showed hostility
I never displayed aggressive or antagonistic behavior.
I kept it all inside
I internalized and concealed all my emotions.
Nobody, nobody taught me how to lie
No one guided me on the practice of dishonesty.
Nobody taught me how to lie
No one offered instruction or guidance on how to lie.
