They stand before the alter
They stand before themselves
For richer or for poorer,
In sickness and in health
.
Words are mostly meaningless,
the only truth that really is
We're all getting by telling lies,
telling lies
Everyone we love is telling lies,
telling lies
Maybe that's why I never felt like
I could look you in the eye
Everyone alive is telling lies
.
She feels the whole world on her shoulders
As she tucks her kid in bed
It gets better when you're older
And they believe the words she says
.
Words are mostly meaningless,
the only truth that really is
We don't really mind telling lies,
telling lies
Cause we're all getting by telling lies,
telling lies
Maybe that's why I never felt like
I could trust any friend of mine
Everyone alive is telling lies
.
She walks naked in the bedroom
as I'm lying on my back
And says "Baby please be honest,
have I been getting fat?"
.
But my words are mostly meaningless,
the only truth that really is
Everyone we love is telling lies,
telling lies
Everyone we know is telling lies,
telling lies
Maybe that is why
I can justify the way I live my life
Cause everyone alive is telling lies
.
