Tegan and Sara
Don’t Believe the Things They Tell You (They Lie)
[Verse 1]
The things I've almost told you
All the things I've thought about you
It takes all my strength to face you
To hold still
And when you give me your attention
Things get lost in translation, again
Tell you I don't love you at all
But I do love you
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna be a liar
But I do it every day
I don't wanna be so tired
But I can't sleep any way
[Chorus]
Don't believe the things they tell you, they lie
Don't believe the things they tell you, no
[Verse 2]
The thing my mother told me
Was that everyone would love me
But in the dark, I feel so lonely
I'm numb
She said it with so much conviction
But I feel like something's missing, again
Ooh, I don't love me at all
I don't love me
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna be a liar
But I do it every day
I don't wanna be so tired
But I can't sleep any way
[Chorus]
Don't believe the things they tell you, they lie
Don't believe the things they tell you, no
[Bridge]
I'm a liar
No one believe me
I'm a liar
No one believe me
[Chorus]
Don't believe the things they tell you
Don't believe the things they tell you
Don't believe the things I tell you, I lie
Don't believe the things I tell you, no
