Why Do I Lie? — текст песни (Luscious Jackson)

i would love to be better
i would love to be free
i would love to be perfect
when you look at me
but instead i`m still crying
yes instead i`m still lying
sad to say i`m still trying
not to be me
when i see all the weakness
that i turned into sickness
i still think i can slide
just fine on the ice
it`s not easy to be honest
sometimes i`m just astonished
how hard it can be to be true

[CHORUS:]
why do i lie?
is it just to get by
if i give up my lines
will i die?
if fortunes are favored
then i am in labor
and i`m trying so hard
to leave lying behind

i don`t want to be hazy
i don`t think that i`m crazy
but i`ve had some moments
where i am not sure
and if you can forgive me
for just being human
then i will try harder
to keep my words pure

i could be on the border
it could be a disorder
honestly i think
that i can come clean
and all of my stories might even be boring
if i can tell you
what they all mean

[CHORUS]
