Lies Can't Pretend

(album: More Betterness! - 1999)

I received your letter in the mail
Sounds like times are hard for you again
You said that you'd be nineteen in September of this year
And you're breaking up with your first girlfriend
"My dad and I got in a fight, he told me to leave"
When everything was fine
There isn't much that I can do to help you tes it's true
But I promise that the hurt will heal in time...
And you don't deserve this

Lies can't pretend, just another way of thinking
People can change when it seems they're not there for you
Truth cannot lie, never heard a better word that trust
Yes it's in you, know that it's true and right

Let me count the ways that I feel so sorry
When it rains it drains the spirit dry
We all have our mishaps, misfortunes, misopportunities
And the strength to carry on consider yourself free...
And you don't deserve this
