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
