Honest Lies (Steven D. Cohen, Rick Lagneaux)

Like a sliver that won't come out
The pain is always there
And it hurts like those honest lies you told me
When you said you'd always care
In a moment you created, a everlasting eternity
That made me a tormented soul
For all the world to see

(Chorus)
With your honest lies, reveal the truth
Your honest lies, that what I get from you

You concealed your deadly daggers
Spoken with those poison words
That gave me a lethal dose of
What I never should have heard
Jesus was given heaven,
And the devil was sent to hell
While I received those
Fatal words that wounded me so well

(Repeat Chorus)

Does your consience have any feelings,
Where tainted love no longer remains
Betrayal becomes the weapon
To deceive and hide all the blame
Decadent virtues reside in my ears,
Heartless actions are piercing my brain
Swords without mercy cut into my flesh
From the whip that lashes my name

(Repeat Chorus)
