The Man Who Never Lied – Maroon 5
In the middle of Hollywood boulevard
Screaming at each other, screaming at each other
Like oh, oh, oh, can't take it anymore oh oh oh
Like a tragedy, like a dark comedy
Laughing at each other, laughing at each other, like oh oh oh
It isn't funny anymore, oh oh
We were out, as the argument started again, like it did so many times recently. I don’t even know what we were fighting about anymore, can’t have been so important. But you know it escalated quickly back then and it seems like in a second we found us screaming at each other in the middle of the street. It was once too much this time and I couldn’t take it anymore. We were hurting each other by listing flaws and making fun of them, when in reality it wasn’t funny at all it just was tragic and hurtful.
I was the man who never lied
I never lied until today
But I just couldn't break your heart
Like you did mine yesterday
I was the man who never lied, oh oh oh
I was the man who never lied, oh oh oh, yeah
I never ever lied, I hate it, but I today I just couldn’t and so I did. I lied to you. I wouldn’t wanna hurt you in any single way, so I lied to you. Saving your heart from all those nasty words and breaking made me lie for the first time. I just couldn’t break your heart with my words, like you broke mine with yours so I lied.
Sometimes honesty is the worst policy
Happy ever after, happy ever after
Let it go, go, go, you never need to know, oh oh
I don't wanna be picking up all of these tiny litle pieces, tiny litle pieces
Of your heart, oh, oh, won't do it anymore, oh, oh
Sometimes the situations so bad, that you just can’t tell the truth, that you have to lie, because in real life there is no such thing as ‘happy ever after’ and I didn’t wanna ruin your world. I didn’t want you to see how cruel it really is out here, not again. I would have to pick up the pieces of your shattered heart, but I didn’t want to do it anymore so I lied.
In the middle of Hollywood boulevard
What am I doing in Hollywood boulevard?
In the middle of Hollywood boulevard
Screaming at each other, screaming
In the middle of the streets I started lying to you. How could I? Why did I? I didn’t even know anymore what I was doing there but I just screamed back at you, mimicking your act.
I was the man who never lied
I never lied until today
But I just couldn't break your heart
Like you did mine yesterday
I was the man who never lied
I never lied until today
But I just couldn't break your heart
Like you did mine yesterday
I was the man who never lied, oh oh oh
I was the man who never lied, oh oh oh
I promise girl, I never ever lied to you, until that day. I didn’t wanna hurt you and break your heart, because I know a broken heart. You broke me so many times, but I didn’t tell you instead I lied for the first time today, in the middle of the streets. I just couldn’t break you.
