Big Lie by Eric Eckhart Lyrics

Those summer nights under sweet monlight the songs and magazines
Lying here with the car top down and my hand between her knees
The morning light through the breeze block heights falls gently on her face
I promise her that her world will turn and her heart will never break
She knows I’m lying

We pretend that life is perfect and that lovers never lose
Everywhere in this same old town
Everywhere’s the same old town
We pretend that life is perfect and that lovers never lose
Everywhere in this same old town
But this big, big lie is out

So we drive for hours through the backstreet towers where no one ever goes
I trade my will for a dashboard thrill but the loneliness it grows
So I plan escape from this drowning place, from this town that never breathes
We say our vows, we’ll grow old and proud, but she knows I’m gonna leave
I hear her crying

We pretend that life is perfect and that lovers never lose
Everywhere in this same old town
Everywhere’s the same old town
We pretend that life is perfect and that lovers never lose
Everywhere in this same old town
But this big, big lie is out
It’s easier to just pretend than look what’s underneath
Everywhere in this same old town
Everywhere’s the same old town
It’s easier to just pretend that lovers never lose
Everywhere in this same old town
But this big, big lie is out
