Lyrics

The Dishonesty

[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
