Above all, don't lie to yourself.
The man who lies to himself,
loses all respect for
himself and for others.
And having no respect,
he ceases to love.
Skeletons in your closet,
banging on your door
You held the truth back so long,
now it's calling for
You and you alone, this is your ending time
You were so rough and tough,
now look at you whine
Oh, don't dive with a lie on your lip
Don't dive with a lie on your lip
Don't go to the other side
Hold it on to your pride
Don't dive with a lie on your lip
On your dying bed, will you tell the truth?
Or wait until you're gone,
let someone write your confession for you
Cause you're twisting all the facts,
but I'm swinging in the cracks
Oh what we do, this is true,
the blues will tell on you
Don't die with a lie on your bed
Don't die with a lie on your lips
And as sure as you're born
Someday you're gonna be gone
Don't die with a lie on your lips
In the world of secrets
There are very few
And in time you will find
They will come out too
Don't die wit' a lie on your lips
Don't die wit' a lie on your lips
Don't die with a lie on your lips
Don't die with a lie on your lips
Don't die with a lie on your lips
On your lips, on your lips
don't lie, don't lie, don't lie,
don't lie, don't lie
