The lies I tell
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
