Lie for a Lie Songtext
von Built to Spill

I can see a storm awaiting
Quietly anticipating
Don′t deny it, no debating

A lie for a lie
A truth for a truth

Cruel, but everybody does it
Thought by now I'd rise above it
You complain but don′t discuss it

A lie for a lie
A truth for a truth


I know the thoughts are on your brain
Even if they're not the same
Close enough, so don't explain

Lie for a lie
A truth for a truth
(It′s not, but it′s better)

Once in a while, there's this girl I don′t know in my dreams
She reminds me of a lot of people
She's someone that I′ve never seen
And she's perfect

′Kay, begin
