i put it in a package and i pack it up good / send it from a place you’ve never heard of / so you won’t know whom it came from / i put some wrap around it and i’ll tie a good knot / make sure the post office is far enough / so you won’t know whom it came from / i can hardly look into your eyes / i’d rather tell a bunch of stupid lies / i put it in my pocket and i leave it there / wait till the weight is too hard to bare / then i hide it away / i wait till the time’s not right / then i rub it in your face / so you don’t know what it was for / i can hardly look into your eyes / i’d rather tell a bunch of stupid lies / ‘cause i can’t bring bad news / i never learned how to / what it comes down to is / lies, lies, lies / honesty’s a mystery / sometimes i don’t know how to believe / in my judgment / although i know it in my heart / honesty is bittersweet / the truth is you don’t always want to know / what’s on my mind / i can hardly look into your eyes / i’d rather tell a bunch of stupid lies / ‘cause I can’t bring bad news
