Jeremy Adam - justify the lie Lyrics

I tell myself
If I set a goal
I'm gonna get up and go
And I believe in my own lies
Convince myself
If I wanna progress
I better dress for success
And I believe in the stories that I tell to me
But I don't understand
How to walk hand in hand
With the truth that I conjure up
So
Why do I make promises
Promises I know I can't keep
Why do I
Tell tall tales that touch the sky
Why do I make
Promises I know I won't keep
Why do I
Justify the lie
I tell myself
That I get what I want and I got what I flaunt
And I believe that I am not an imposter
Yeah, right
Convince myself
That I got what it takes to be one of the greats
And I believe in prophecy and destiny for everybody
So I don't understand
How to snap the rubber band
And wake up
From the dreamland in my mind
Why do I make promises
Promises I know I can't keep
Why do I
Tell tall tales that touch the sky
Why do I make promises
Promises I know I won't keep
Why do I
Justify the lie
I tell myself that I could be
Better, faster, stronger
I owe it to no one but me
To hold on a little longer
I don't have to be the best
I would settle for not being
Such a mess
Why do I make promises
Promises I know I can't keep
Why do I
Tell tall tales that touch the sky
Why do I make promises
Promises I know I won't keep
Why do I
Justify the lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Why do I make promises
Promises I know I can't keep
Why do I
Tell tall tales ten thousand stories high
Why do I make promises
Promises I know I won't keep
Why do I
Justify the lie
