Outright Lies lyrics

I try my best to reach perfection
And all I get is more rejection
I wanna know what you`re about

It`s nice to know someone`s out there asking
But what`s it worth when it`s all you`re telling?
I think it`s you I`ve finally figured out

Those outright lies you`ve said are knocking me down
What`s left to do when your life`s turned upside down?

I`ve gotten flak from all who know me
If you speak truth then you need to show me
You can`t expect me to just nod my head and smile
Cos ignorance is not my style

As my false pride gets in the way
I start believing all you say
I cross my fingers all the while

I`m running in a different race
I`m out of time and out of place
I play the sucker all the time
I simply can`t make up my mind
Whoever I choose to believe
Who says they won`t stand up and leave
And who`ll be waiting next in line
Won`t you give me another sign?

Those outright lies you`ve said are knocking me down
What`s left to do when your life`s turned upside down?

Turn it upside down - Turn it upside down
Turn it upside down - Turn it upside down
