Family Lies


I didn't mean to hurt you
I was just trying to love
but I'm so afraid to touch you
afraid of god above
afraid of my own feelings
afraid of losing control
afraid I might want you so much
I'd sell my self - my soul

so I pushed you away
and let you think
that I didn't care
when you started to drink
and I blamed you for that
and I still do today
but I didn't want to see
that you wanted to stay

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm innocent, I am
I want so much to love you
but I need to understand
will you hurt me like the others
how will I ever be sure
I just wanted you to beg me to stay
when I showed you to the door

so I pushed you away
and let you feel
that I hated you
but it wasn't real
and I blamed you for that
and I still do today
cuz I'm too afraid to see
the game I play

don't sing me your love song
you know I won't believe
don't tell me I'm in denial
or what I give I will receive
I don't want to hear your story
I just want you to hear mine
  and I'll never sing this song to you...
you know that's the bottom line

I didn't mean to hurt you
I just want to love
but I'm soo afraid to trust you
you're what I've dreamed of
and if I get too close
it might get too real
and I might have to admit
pain is all I feel

so I pushed you away
and let you go
when you stand on a seed
it will not grow
and I blamed you for that
and I still do today
cuz I didn't want to see
the words I pray

  so I pushed you away...

cuz I didn't want you to see
I lived in tears
today

I didn't want you to see
I lived in fears
of yesterday

don't sing me your truth song
you know I won't believe
don't tell me I'm a hypocrit
or how it's only me I decieve
I don't want to hear your glories
I just want you feel my pain
  and I'll never listen to your song...
and you're the one to blame

so don't sing me your love song
you know I won't believe
don't tell me I'm in denial
or what I give I will receive
I don't want to hear your story
I just want you to hear mine
  and I'll never sing this song to you...
you know that's the bottom line
