You give me a glass half full

and a glass half empty

it doesn't really matter

yeah I'm still drinkin

and I know that you lie

to make a story


yeah I wonder how you do it

why do you need to deceive

I'd love to be the first to hear

if you'd like

I won't tell I won't tell


gimme what you give yourself

a reliable source

before you take the truth on a crash course

what are you going nowhere fast for

it's over in a flash and I'm asking

spinning lies and reality

memory's the malady

that's gotten all of us sick


you tell me a tale I know

plus a twist or two

a little unbelievable to fit through

and I'd love to believe you, I would

I've been listening

have you been paying attention

or trying to think of something good to mention?

gimme just once

with light lies

chillin in the night skies

waiting for the sun and the bright rise


oh just stop just stop

I'm not hearing what you're breathing, I'm not

but I'll take the truth any way you got it

yeah I love the news a lot

if it's all true

no need for you to tell me a story

made of myth as much as genuine validity


I love you but you do it yeah you really do

why do you need to deceive

oh I'd love to be the first to hear

whisper in my ear

I won't tell I won't tell
