lyrics

Two Sides To Every Lie

There’s two sides to every lie
You shave a little from the middle
That’s where the truth resides

What I did was wrong I don’t deny
But what you’re telling your friends is a barefaced lie
They don’t know what you did to me
Putting me down and being nasty as can be

There’s two sides to every lie
You shave a little from the middle
That’s where the truth resides
There’s two sides to every game
Why don’t we both just sleep on it
Before we find someone to blame

You messed with my mind and my good name too
Running me down, what are you trying to do?
Honesty's a crime, it don't pay
But I gotta tell you what you did was not ok

There’s two sides to every lie
You shave a little from the middle
That’s where the truth resides
There’s two wrongs in every war
I've got my line
And baby you've got yours

I don’t know why you would go
And put me down this way
Here lies a double crosser
I’ll write that on your grave

I counted on you like you counted on me
Now we’re sitting here lonely and sad as can be
Lies keeps growing, too big to believe
Don’t sit in judgement, let your heart lead

There’s two sides to every lie
You shave a little from the middle
That’s where the truth resides

John Pippus Vancouver

"Reminiscent and harkening in spirit, in some ways, to Neil Young’s classic “Harvest,” Pippus and friends have made something much richer in tone and certainly more fitting for 2022.”
