Terrible Lie Songtext
von Nine Inch Nails

Why are you doing this to me?
Am I not living up to what I′m supposed to be?
Why am I seething with this animosity?
I think you owe me a great big apology

Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

I really don't know what you mean
Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
Can this world really be as sad as it seems?

Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie


Don′t take it away from me
I need someone to hold on to
Don't take it away from me
I need someone to hold on to

Don't turn away from me
I need someone to hold on to
Don′t turn away from me
I need someone to hold on to

Don′t turn away from me
I need someone to hold on to
Don't turn away from me
I need someone to hold on to

Don′t turn away from me
I need someone to hold on to
Don't turn, don′t turn
Don't take it, don′t take it, don't

There's nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, security and pride
I′m all alone in a world you must despise
I believed that promises, your promises and lies


Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

You made me throw it all away
My morals left to decay (terrible lie)
How many you betray
You′ve taken everything (terrible lie)

My head is filled with disease
My skin is begging you please (terrible lie)
I'm on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe

I give you everything, my sweet everything
I give you everything, my sweet everything
I give you everything, my sweet everything
I give you everything, my sweet everything

There′s nothing left for me to hide
