They say the truth will set us free
That's what they say
But you'll never prove it by me

They say that lies just tear us down
That's what they say
But it's not what I found.

Maybe I look like a joker
Maybe I act like a clown
Maybe I'm barely holding on
To a world that is upside down

You say in time it'll all work out
That's what you say
But I have my doubt 

After you read me a bedtime story
After you sing me a lullaby
Tell me the truth
Show me the proof
But let me keep livin' the lie

Why should I be downhearted?
Why should I feel bad?
Maybe I'm only losin'
Something that I never had
