1.

There was a time,
I'm sure you knew,
and I remember, too.
Every word you said to me,
you said that they were true!
But, now I know,
that they were nothing more
than pretty lies.

2.

It didn't matter
that your words weren't true!
I just liked to spend time with you,
and, you said, you liked
to be around me, too!
But now,
I've chosen to throw
it all down
upon the ground.
Because all of your words
they were just
pretty, pretty lies.

3.

I've erased your name
from my cell phone
because everything
you said left me
feeling alone and
now I've found
that only from,
a heart of stone,
could come so very,
very many,
pretty, pretty lies.

(Repeat X2)

4.

There's no blog
to tell our tale,
of lies and slugs
'and puppy dogs tails...'
There's just a memory
lost in the bongs
and hidden here
in some old song
that's just filled with
pretty, pretty lies.

Anyone who sends me a vocal track I will add to my already online for five years musical track,
'Pretty Lies'.
https://soundcloud.com/brett-hernan/pretty-lies
I will upload your vocal additions to soundcloud, without question.
If you can come up with some additional lyrics or other musical input, feel free to add it too, but don't feel like that's an essential, please.
So, don't underestimate yourself, (or overestimate yourself), because both of those predilections are just exactly what, 'They' want, and, 'They' are just about the absolute experts in the continual telling of pretty lies!
