String of Lies
Unraveling Deceit: The Goo Goo Dolls' String of Lies Unveiled
Lyrics
I've got no politics, no influential friend or two
I lack political affiliations and influential connections.
I've got ideas, but it's nothin' I picked up at school
I possess ideas, but they are not acquired through formal education.
I might be running, but I'm never running back to you
Although I may be moving forward, I won't return to you.
And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply
This is a message from reality, and I don't anticipate a response from you.
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie
Any information you provide is perceived as another falsehood.
I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by
I endured a prolonged period where time passed without progress.
You've got no power and my situation don't apply
Your influence is negligible, and my circumstances differ from yours.
You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine
When asked about my well-being, I falsely claim to be fine.
And with your sugar-sweetend alibis, there was a truth I never knew
Your convincingly sweet excuses concealed a truth I was unaware of.
And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you
The negative behavior you exhibited is returning to affect you.
String of lies, it's always compromise with you
A series of deceitful statements, constantly compromising in our relationship.
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do
In this situation, there's nothing more to be done.
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you
Throughout our association, there's been a consistent pattern of lies.
And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply
Another message from reality, not expecting a genuine response.
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie
Anticipating that any information you provide will be another falsehood.
String of lies, we always compromise for you
We repeatedly make compromises for you in this web of deceit.
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do
There's no further action to take in this situation filled with lies.
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you
Consistently, our relationship has been characterized by a series of lies.
String of lies, we always compromise for you
Continuing to compromise for you in this cycle of deceit.
And here's a letter from the real world
Another communication from the real world, closing the narrative.
