"THE BIG LIE"
(Bassett/Gibbs/Hurley)
I could charm the skin right off a snake
Twist the truth around and watch it break
But I still can't get through to you
I could talk a Zebra from its stripes
Convince today to turn into tonight
Still there's something I just can't do
And you see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Is something I could never be
I could talk the clouds down from the sky
I could stop the breeze as it blows by
But you know this act is nothing new
I could be the dream you had last night
And whisper every word exactly right
But you know dreams don't always come true
And you see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Is something I could never be
I could steal your heart but not this time
You deserve much more than worn out lines
But that's all that I've got to give
You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Anyone that you could need is something I could never be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anyone that you could need is something I could never be
