Matthew West - The Lie lyrics

Everybody's doing it

Everybody's going out tonight

All your friends are feeling it

Whatever it is that makes you feel all right

Everybody knows

That anything goes

Everything you want is just across the line

Step into the flow,

Go all the way tonight

Don't believe the lie

Don't buy in

To what they sell you

It'll only make you cry

I've been there

And I'm here to tell you

What you got inside your soul

Deep down you know

The truth won't hide

Don't believe the lie

Here comes the morning sun

Shining down on what you've done

And all you feel is empty

And you don't know why it felt like so much fun

Here comes that voice again

Acting like your friend

With a whisper in your ear

"You fell too far this time"

Don't believe the lie

Don't buy in

To what they sell you

It'll only make you cry

I've been there

And I'm here to tell you

What you got inside your soul

Deep down you know

The truth won't hide

Don't believe the lie

Like a thief it will come to steal and kill and destroy

But you don't have to let it take your joy

Anymore

[spoken]

Oh no

You were meant for so much more than this

You were meant for so much more than this

I promise this

I promise this

You were meant for so much more

So don't give in

No don't give in

When you stand your ground you won't stand alone

Don't believe the lie

Don't buy in

To what they sell you

It'll only make you cry

I've been there

And I'm here to tell you

What you got inside your soul

Deep down you know

The truth won't hide

Don't believe the lie
