The lies I tell

(Daniel Castillo)

The song is about losing yourself behind the person you present to the world, to the point where you are not even sure who the real you is anymore.

I say hello, I shake hands and smile I hide behind Whatever you find You have met me But I never showed Any part of Myself or my soul You think you know Me after a while You believed me But it's all a lie The joke’s on me Because I’m the one Who ends up alone Asking himself why Why can’t you let Someone reach your heart Why do you feel The need to stay apart Apart I have torn My sense and my mind Now not even I Know who I really am I am many things And none of them I’m just a guy Lost inside himself I won’t try to Find a way to tell Who this guy is I can’t face myself It’s too late now To stop being wrong I can’t help it It’s all I’ve known The truth would break More than I can bear I shall stay chained By the lies I tell I am many things And none of them I’m just a guy Lost inside himself I won’t try to Find a way to tell Who this guy is I can’t face myself So don’t believe You ever knew me You only saw What everyone sees The layer of Impressive half truths That I knew you Would think are so cool You would forget To ask yourself What do I know About my old friend Is he alone How is he feeling Is he only What he’s revealing I am many things And none of them I’m just a guy Lost inside himself I won’t try to Find a way to tell Who this guy is I can’t face myself
