I once wore a lie for every clothes I wore,
Each fabrication made each fabric fit.
I wanted to look the look and walk the walk,
Beauty is in the eye of the beautician said the sock.

I once had a friend for every lie I told
Each one as genuine as my authentic fake smile,
All of them as caring as lion to gazelle,
I didn't feel the knife, it was love I could tell.

I once ate a lie with every meal I devoured,
Had busting abs and devilish good looks.
Each shard on the floor echoing the same call,
You truly are the fairest of them all.

I once lived a perfect life in a million lies,
I told each lie with the purest intent.
A white lie here, a half-truth there,
Two lies do make a truth, that's all I care!
