Stop the Lie
It was easier to face
when I didn't have the proof in my place
I found all those needles
stuck in the wrong space
all those needles, once in your skin
taking you back from me once again
ripping you right out of my heart
where did it all at first start?
Baby, baby, baby girl
don't you know your life's in a tornado
come on baby, give it one more try
every time, you've got to step back
turn around and look in the mirror
do you see what you want
is she who you want to be
Downtrodden and living on the streets
making the days by the skin of your teeth
you've got to get out and get clean
clean yourself up and stop being mean
I know and so do you and all of us do too
we all know you're meant to live a better life
come on baby, give it one more try
it's time to stop all the denying
it's time to start to live a true life
grow up and truly get well
things won't always be like this
but you know that you can do it
stop the lying, start trying
come on baby give it one more try
and stop the lie
stop the drugs
stop it all and give me a call
give someone a call
call them all
it's past time to stop the lie!
