Never Been a Liar     (music and lyrics by Amanda Mehl © April 2006)

 
Everything is great in my life
I’ve got friends and confidants and confidence
When I gaze into the mirror I’m always satisfied
And I never look at other girls with envy in my eyes
 
I know just where I’m going and how I’m gonna get there
Happiness is always in my reach
I never get lonely when the day turns to night
and I never feel an emptiness without you at my side
 
CHORUS:
That’s not the truth, not quite the truth
though I have never been a liar
I’m feeling more and more like one
As time goes on I know fewer and fewer
With the courage, or the time, or the acceptance
To hear, the truth
 
I am a faithful partner, I don’t have any secrets
I never fall in love unless it’s convenient
I’ll tell you everything I ever thought or imagined
And I never flirt with married men
 
CHORUS
 
It’s complicated and messy, it’s not easy to say
It’s not always what we’d like it to be
But I’d like it anyway
 
I’d like the truth, I want the truth
Because I have never been a liar
And I’m feeling more and more like one
As time goes on
I want the courage, and the time, and the acceptance
To hear, the truth
To hear your truth
And to speak mine too
