[Verse 1]
The hours I wrote a crooked line that nobody would read
Pouring over paragraphs, I'm dotting all the T's
The days would seem to disappear with no progress to see
A promise I was not likely to keep
Just so I could get myself to sleep
[Chorus]
Oh, the dishonesty
The weight is suffocating me
I can't find the strength enough to put this to an end
So I can tell the truth to you again
[Verse 2]
A daily dose to disappoint, muster up the nerve
To take rejection on the chin I dutifully deserve
I didn't drive a million miles from sea to shining sea
Just to leave my bottles on the beach
But this is what the world has given me
[Chorus]
Oh, the dishonesty
I don't want your sympathy
Surely there is something learned you failed to pan for gold
But I'll just have to stop digging the hole
[Outro]
Oh, the dishonesty
Oh, the dishonesty
Oh, the dishonesty
Oh, the dishonesty
