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
