Tell a Lie (Acoustic) Lyrics

[00:05.13]	When we tell a lie, we watch it float
[00:12.82]	Into clouds and worlds we can’t control
[00:16.09]	In the mean time, birds go on and sing their honest songs
[00:20.81]
[00:23.27]	Had you left yourself an honest note
[00:27.10]	You’ll hear your words speak on their own
[00:31.30]	And sound like a man you met so long ago
[00:34.93]
[00:38.67]	I’ve wasted all this time
[00:43.84]	Reciting empty lines
[00:46.82]	That cast a spell on the ones who make me whole
[00:51.58]
[00:51.93]	And I can’t let myself give up the hope
[00:55.88]	That one of these days I’ll have control
[01:00.23]	Till now I’ve known how to shape my words
[01:03.97]	So all those who love me don’t get hurt
[01:07.46]	By my lengthy lists of ways to make things seem okay
[01:11.55]
[01:17.26]	Well if I heard it right, then life is all
[01:23.85]	Just a dance you dance until you can’t no more
[01:26.43]	And I’ve realized birds have sung the same tune all along
[01:32.60]
[01:32.95]	They say we fly, we dance for nothing more
[01:37.25]	Than to make our lives worth living for
[01:40.28]	So either way being I will be okay
[01:44.57]
[01:45.18]	I’ve wasted all this time
[01:48.01]
[01:48.42]	And I can’t let the world engulf my soul
[01:58.94]	Cuz one of these days I’ll be no more
[02:03.14]	And now my list seems a petty resort
[02:06.48]	To entertain the thoughts I had before
[02:10.48]	When I sung the lie to something wasn’t
[02:14.33]	Right when I held myself no higher than me

[00:05.13]	When we tell a lie, we watch it float
[00:12.82]	Into clouds and worlds we can' t control
[00:16.09]	In the mean time, birds go on and sing their honest songs
[00:20.81]
[00:23.27]	Had you left yourself an honest note
[00:27.10]	You' ll hear your words speak on their own
[00:31.30]	And sound like a man you met so long ago
