So What I Lied

[Missy]

The window's cracked, I'm looking out
I see her and I'm filled with doubt
I don't know if this parking place
is just another empty space
words I've said aren't coming true
I don't know if it's me or you
this promise is too hard to keep
I have to speak

(chorus)
So what, I lied
But the truth would've been suicide
monogamy is all she wants from me
but I see my life
and it's way too short
don't blame me for not being subservient to others' needs
I'm at the point where honesty just doesn't f*ckin' work for me

I did my best to try and be
A mirror of society
but we both know the mirror's cracked
and everybody's in the act
faking what they cannot feel hoping they can make it real
reality is killing me

Erect a life I'll never see
I'll stand back from the scenery
and laugh at all the other guys
who never could escape in time
stuck like flies on sticky tongues
chewed up 'fore their life is done
I'm not here to compromise or apologize

(outro)
Life - is too f*#cking short
It's too f*#king short
It's too f*#king short

[Reptar]

Pretty sure it's f*cking in the last line of the chorus and not just f*ck.

I assume it was just a typo...

[Missy]

LOL Yeah thank you! I will edit that now. Typing out all the lyrics kinda makes one go cross eyed

[Serge]

Probably the best lyrics on the entire album.

My 5th favorite<3

[Justine]

I was sure I was going to love that one. SO fantastic.
The rythm, the lyrics...

[kait09]

The clean version says "I'm at the point where honesty just doesn't ever work for me"

...not as angry. lol

[rockedbritt]

i loooveee this song. i love how shim hits those high notes in the verses. its sounds so cool

[Cassandra]

This song is great! I've had the chorus stuck in my head since I first heard Tri- Polar.

[Théodore]

Not only the lyrics, I love the music and the bridge. It's a nice song.

[Donna]

After listening to the CD at least 2 times daily since I got it I think this is my favorite song

[jj1973]

[Anthony]

I am soo addicted to this song! Whenever I play the album its the first song I listen to, Its just too awesome!

I have to wonder why it seems he thinks monogamy is such a horrible thing though..?

[Théodore]

Some get fun with their own ways... ^^

[sdom]

I can't get enough of this song!

[Donna]

I am not speaking for Shim when I say this but in my opinion I believe monogamy is quite difficult..unless you have found that one person that you feel / know is your soulmate and then you wouldn't mind spending the rest of your life with that person .

[Théodore]

Well, asociated with "life is too f*ckin' short", I think that's not the exact meaning of this song, and I don't even think Shim's critisizing monogamy... I just think he have had enough with that girl and he didn't wanted to spend more time with her, that's all.

Anyway, we aren't even sure he's singing about himself, so let's forget it.

[*~DeathDealer~*]

Easily my favorite song on the album. It's also my current ringtone so I love it when I have my phone on loud and I get a call from someone.

[Théodore]

I couldn't love it, not because I dislike tis song, but because my ringtones are very loud, so I can't decently let it ring.

This is the first song I heard by Sick Puppies so I'll always have much love for it. The lyrics are just so powerful, true and Awesome!
