Why should you believe anyway'
I constantly turn back on what I say
And every broken promise marks a way
My words foreshadow actions I can't display

I let my lies just pile up like massive hills of dirt
Results from all the holes I've dug so deep into the earth
With all the work it takes I start to wonder what it's worth
I raise my dirt stained hands for help I know I don't deserve
And you pull me out and dust me off
I went so far, I was so lost
And after all that I put us both through
I should have just told you the truth

And you can always count on me
To let you down
'Cause when you need me to step up
I'm backing out
So tell me what it takes
To gain some ground
And turn the sorry life of mine around

I let my lies just pile up like massive hills of dirt
Results from all the holes I've dug so deep into the earth
With all the work it takes I start to wonder what it's worth
I raise my dirt stained hands for help I know I don't deserve
And you pull me out and dust me off
I went so far, I was so lost
And after all that I put us both through
I should have just told you the truth

Oh, but believe me
You can't believe a thing I say
You've got to trust this
Remaining trust-less is the best way to stay
Because honestly is a policy
That I can't seem to obey
And honestly it bothers me the way...

I let my lies just pile up like massive hills of dirt
Results from all the holes I've dug so deep into the earth
With all the work it takes I start to wonder what it's worth
I raise my dirt stained hands for help I know I don't deserve
And you pull me out and dust me off
I went so far, I was so lost
And after all that I put us both through
I should have just told you the truth
