I want to tell you lies.

I want to tell that little boy, his Mom will be just fine. I want to tell that dad, we got his
daughter out in time. I want to tell that wife, her husband will be home tonight. I don't want
to tell it like it is, I want to tell them lies.

You didn't put their seat belts on, you feel you killed your kids. I want to say you didn't ... But
in a way, you did. You pound your fists into my chest, you're hurting so inside I want to say
you'll be OK, I want to tell you lies.

You left chemicals within his reach, and now it's in his eyes I want to say your son will see, not
tell you he'll be blind. You ask me if he'll be OK, with pleading in your eyes. I want to say that
yes he will, I want to tell you lies.

I can see you're crying, as your life goes up in smoke. If you'd maintained that smoke alarm,
your children may have woke. Don't grab my arm and ask me if your family is alive. Don't make
me tell you they're all dead, I want to tell you lies.

I want to say she'll be OK, you didn't take her life. I hear you say you love her and you'd never
hurt your wife. You thought you didn't drink too much, you thought that you could drive. I
don't want to say how wrong you were, I want to tell you lies.

You only left her for a moment, it happens all the time. How could she have fell from there?
You thought she couldn't climb. I want to say her neck's not broke, that she will be just fine. I
don't want to say she's paralyzed, I want to tell you lies.

I want to tell this teen, his buddies didn't die in vain, because he thought that it'd be cool, to
try to beat that train. I don't want to tell him this will haunt him all his life. I want to say
that he'll forget, I want to tell him lies.

You left the cabinet open and your daughter found the gun. Now you want me to undo, the
damage that's been done. You tell me she's your only child, you say she's only five. I don't want
to say she won't see six, I want to tell you lies.

He fell into the pool, when you just went to grab the phone. It was only for a second, that you
left him there alone. If you let the darn phone ring, perhaps your boy would be alive. But I
don't want to tell you that, I want to tell you lies.

The fact that you were speeding, caused that car to overturn and we couldn't get them out of
there, before the whole thing burned. Did they suffer? Yes, they suffered, as they slowly burned
alive. But I don't want to say those words, I want to tell you lies.

But I have to tell it like it is, until my shift is through and then the real lies begin, when I
come home to you. You ask me how my day was, and I say it was just fine. I hope you
understand, sometimes I have to tell you lies.
