This Is A Lie

[Verse 1]
How each of us decides
I've never been sure
The part we play
The way we are
How each of us denies
Any other way in the world

[Verse 2]
Why each of us must choose
I've never understood
One special friend
One true love
Why each of us must lose
Everyone else in the world

[Pre-Chorus]
However unsure
However unwise
Day after day
Play out our lives
However confused
Pretending to know to the end

[Chorus]
But this isn't truth
This isn't right
This isn't love
This isn't life
And this isn't real
This is a lie

[Verse 3]
How each of us believes
I've never really known
In heaven unseen
And hell unknown
How each of us dreams
To understand anything at all

[Verse 4]
Why each of us decides
I've never been sure
The part we take
The way we are
Why each of us denies
Every other way in the world

[Pre-Chorus]
However unsure
However unwise
Day after day
Play out our lives
However confused
Pretending to know to the end

[Chorus]
But this isn't truth
This isn't right
This isn't love
This isn't life
And this isn't real
This is a lie

This isn't truth
This isn't right
This isn't love
And this isn't life
This isn't real
This is a lie
