"The Lies We Tell Ourselves" lyrics

Ever looked around at all the suffering
And stopped to ask is this how things ought to be
Gonna turn away, and keep my head down low
After all it's the only world that I've known
(I've known)

They say the mighty will fall, and the good die young
Believing in love, will leave you cold and numb
You can't change the world, just play the hand you're dealt
Yeah, these are the lies, that we tell ourselves

I'm tired of all this fear, I hate the way we hide
Convinced of truths that are only convenient lies
I just can't bite my tongue, it's time to make a change
See for ourselves, just what kind of world we'll make
(We'll make)

If the mighty stand tall, and help the young survive
Believing in love, and keep hope alive
You will change the world, starting with yourself
Forget all the lies, that we tell ourselves

May the weak be strong
Let us carry on
Just be who you are
Hope is never far

Now the mighty stand tall, and help the young survive
Start believing in love, and keep hope alive
You will change the world, starting with yourself
Forget all the lies...

May the weak be strong
Let us carry on
(The lies that we tell ourselves)
Just be who you are
Hope is never far
May the weak be strong
Let us carry on
(And keep hope alive)
Just be who you are
And forget all the lies, that we tell ourselves
