You tell yourself it's alright
Out of mind and out of sight
But you rest a little less at night
and think a little more
'Cause the truth is like a shadow
Follows you where ever you go
It sleeps on your pillow
And waits behind the door
CHORUS
It's hard to be honest
It seems like it's beyond us
Gonna take a lot of blind faith
To look it in the eye
Gonna have ta hurt some
Gonna have ta work some
It's hard to be honest
It's easier to lie...

A lie is like a slow train
Driving through a hard rain
Heading down a steep grade
Pickin' up speed
Next thing you know you're standing
In the middle of a wreckage
Staring at the damage
You never thought you'd see

It's hard to be honest
It seems like it's beyond us
Gonna take a lot of blind faith
To look it in the eye
Gonna have ta hurt some
Gonna have ta work some
It's hard to be honest
It's easier to lie...

Gonna have ta hurt some
Gonna have ta work some
It's hard to be honest
It's easier to lie...

Baby don't lie...
