John Budrevo - Behind the Lies Lyrics

I've seen a thousand smiles - a thousand tears
I've tried to put up with these doubts and fears
But there's still something deep inside that hurts
That's all that's left behind the lies
That's all that's left behind the lies
Some say that life is like an open book
But when you turn a page and have a look
You'll find that there are words that torture you
'Cause they're the truth behind the lies
Yes, they're the truth behind the lies
Behind the things we do or say
There's always something you disguise
'Cause if we all knew what we said
We'd all be taken by surprise
We're born to drift away and close our eyes
We raise the stakes but we don't realize
That we attack each other's sense of pride
And that's the truth behind the lies
Yeah, that's the truth behind the lies.
