"Terrible Lie" lyrics
The Body & Thou Lyrics
(originally by Nine Inch Nails)
Why are you doing this to me?
Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be
Why am I seething with this animosity?
I think you owe me a great, big apology
I really don't know what you mean
Feels like salvation comes only in our dreams
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
Can this world really be as sad as it seems?
Don't take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to
Don't take it away from me, I need you to hold on to
There's nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, security, and pride
I'm all alone in this world, you must despise
I need your promises, your promises and lies
You made me throw it all away, my morals left to decay
How many have you betrayed? You've taken everything
My head is filled with disease
My skin is begging you please
I'm on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe
Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be
Why am I seething with this animosity?
I think you owe me a great, big apology
I really don't know what you mean
Feels like salvation comes only in our dreams
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
Can this world really be as sad as it seems?
Don't take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to
Don't take it away from me, I need you to hold on to
There's nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, security, and pride
I'm all alone in this world, you must despise
I need your promises, your promises and lies
You made me throw it all away, my morals left to decay
How many have you betrayed? You've taken everything
My head is filled with disease
My skin is begging you please
I'm on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe
