From the recording REAR-VIEW-MIRROUR
Lyrics
Don’t risk your lies for the truth
Deceiving the heart - you hold it aloof
You say it’s only a whim … who does it hurt?
Yet, how can you win?
You think it’s under control … she’ll never know
But it’s taken its toll
You know how she cares for you
Does the things that you want to do
How can you tear her in two with your lies?
I know that it’s up to you
You’ll do what you want to do
A friend is supposed to tell you the truth
How can you live with a lie?
I hope that you’ll soon
Know where your interest lies
Listen to what I have to say
There’s time to repair
The cord that’s starting to fray
She might tell you to leave
You’ll come to regret
That you didn’t believe
I risked my lies for the truth …
deceived my own heart …
and I’m living proof …
Yes, I’m living proof
