For years and years I spent my time in lying
For years and years and years that's what I've done
I lied when I was young cause I was trying
To prove myself to you and everyone I'd lie to all the friends I knew
They'd point at me and I'd say who They'd tell me yes and I'd say no
A queen supreme as wives go
The years flew by and all my friends were sighing
Hoping that someday I'd see that light
When they gave up the fight I kept on trying
To show them that the black they saw was
white I wouldn't change so they grew mean
I tried to tell them what I'd seen I tried to tell them do or die
But they said all you do is lie
So now for years I've tried to stop my lying
And all my friends have told me to be strong
But sometimes I can't keep myself from crying
Cause I know I am right and they are wrong
I know that it sounds so unreal I try to tell them what I feel
I try to teach them how to fly I tell the truth and that's no lie
I know that it sounds so unreal I try to tell them what I feel
I try to teach them how to fly I tell the truth and that's no lie
But they said all you do is lie
I tell the truth and that's no lie
