Only Lies
Comfort in Deception: Unveiling the Layers of 'Only Lies'
Lyrics
You tell yourself that you can trust him
You convince yourself that trusting him is possible.
That you know him better than anybody can
You believe you have the deepest understanding of him.
You don't believe the things they tell you
You reject the negative information others convey about him.
When the evidence is stacked against your man
Despite overwhelming proof against him, you stand by him.
Oh, I've seen it with my own eyes and I do not want to tell you lies
The speaker has witnessed the truth but doesn’t want to deceive you.
But you asked me here to help you to feel better
You sought assistance to ease your feelings.
Only lies can comfort you
Only falsehoods offer solace to you.
Only lies will see you through
Untruths are what help you endure.
Just because a thing's convenient
A convenient explanation doesn't equate to truth.
Well, that doesn't make it true
Convenience doesn’t validate authenticity.
Only lies can comfort you
Comfort lies solely in falsehoods.
Well, that's fine if that's what you want
Accepting his absence might be what you desire.
I'm sure there's some good reason for where he's gone
There might be justifications for his actions.
Maybe he was driving and the car broke down
A plausible scenario of car trouble.
And he's stuck on the interstate outside of town
Imagining him stranded outside town.
Oh, and what good is the truth when it causes so much pain for you?
Truth inflicts unbearable pain on you.
Your optimism's up against a wall
Your optimism clashes with harsh reality.
Only lies can comfort you
Comfort solely arises from falsehoods.
Only lies will see you through
Only lies provide resilience.
Just because a thing's convenient
Convenience doesn’t validate authenticity.
Well, that doesn't make it true
Convenience doesn’t equate to truth.
Only lies can comfort you
Only falsehoods provide comfort.
Only lies can comfort you
Comfort is solely found in untruths.
Only lies will see you through
Only falsehoods help you endure.
Just because a thing's convenient
Convenience doesn’t validate authenticity.
Well, that doesn't make it true
Convenience doesn’t equate to truth.
Only lies can comfort you
Comfort only arises from falsehoods.
