THE TRUTH ABOUT A LIE
ONCE IT’S TOLD IT NEVER DIES
EVEN WHEN IT’S PROVEN WRONG
THE DAMAGE DONE LIVES ON
WHEN IT’S HEARD ENOUGH TIMES
TO CHANGE ENOUGH MINDS
IT WON’T BE DENIED
THAT’S THE TRUTH
THAT’S THE TRUTH ABOUT A LIE

PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO
SOMEONE’S GONNA TRY TO FOOL YOU
THEY CHANGE THE FACTS AND TWIST THE WORDS
TILL YOU CAN’T TRUST A THING YOU’VE HEARD

THE TRUTH ABOUT A LIE
ONCE IT’S TOLD IT NEVER DIES
EVEN WHEN IT’S PROVEN WRONG
THE DAMAGE DONE LIVES ON
WHEN IT’S HEARD ENOUGH TIMES
TO CHANGE ENOUGH MINDS
IT WON’T BE DENIED
THAT’S THE TRUTH
THAT’S THE TRUTH ABOUT A LIE

IT GROWS STRONGER WHEN YOU HATE IT
AS POWERFUL AS YOU MAKE IT
THE MORE IT’S FED THE MORE IT SPREADS
TILL IT CAN NEVER BE LEFT UNSAID

THE TRUTH ABOUT A LIE
ONCE IT’S TOLD IT NEVER DIES
EVEN WHEN IT’S PROVEN WRONG
THE DAMAGE DONE LIVES ON
WHEN IT’S HEARD ENOUGH TIMES
TO CHANGE ENOUGH MINDS
IT WON’T BE DENIED
THAT’S THE TRUTH
THAT’S THE TRUTH ABOUT A LIE
THAT’S THE TRUTH
THAT’S THE TRUTH ABOUT A LIE
