[Verse]
Tell people what they want to hear
Tell them all your dreams are near and that the waters crystal clear
Tell people that everything's just great
That you're craving your own way and all the while you're getting paid
Tell 'em 'bout the life you want to get is
Wrapped around your finger tips if only they could taste the glory
Tell 'em you're right where you want to be
Honey, it don't matter if it's true

[Chorus]
But don't tell 'em that you're dying
Don't tell 'em they are too
And don't tell 'em when you're lying
They cannot take the truth

[Verse]
Tell people you've been sleeping well
You've been reading up on Jesus and you don't think of hell
Tell people the art that you create
Comes from only the best place in your heart
Tell 'em about the women that you're holding close they only
Want to know that you're going to grow old and feel the glory
Tell 'em you're right where you want to be
Honey, it don't matter if it's true
[Chorus]
Don't tell 'em that you're dying
Don't tell 'em that they are too
Don't tell 'em when you're lying
They cannot take the truth

[Bridge]
Heavy expectations
Lead to shameful faking
Feelings that are far far from
The truth
Either have the courage
To combat the worthless
Or be silently and socially
Removed

[Chorus]
But honey you're still dying
And honey I am too
So lets tell em when we're lying
We'll make em face the truth
Until they do
Until they do
Until they do

Until they do
