Lyrical Transcription: | Official lyrics, taken from jumplittlechildren.com in the fall of 1997 |
Don't say that you said
Everything that I said not to say
I know you don't remember that
I know you don't remember this
But from now on I only tell lies
I know your word is no good
As long as its understood
So far as you realize
I only tell lies
If only you knew all the
Damage that you can do
Now you'll need a photograph
A signature and witnesses
From now on I only tell lies
You'll need someone to confess
An educated guess
Or see it with your own eyes
I only tell lies
I used to say not just what came to mind casually
But all those things that no one else would ever know of me
I don't tell my secrets anymore
This should be no surprise
That I don't tell my secrets anymore
I only tell lies
Remember the day
That you gave my secrets away
I'll bet you didn't hesitate
Considering all those involved
From now on I only tell lies
Some day it'll come back to you
All those things you think are true
Are all wearing a clever disguise
I only tell lies
I'll tell you every intimate moment
Without sparing a detail
Every word I heard that was said
I'll whisper to you without fail
But this I truly must confide
I don't tell my secrets anymore
I only tell lies
