Live to Tell (From the Island) Lyrics

Don’t ignore your feelings

Bodies have a way of revealing them

My hands know what I don’t

They tell me by breaking things I own

I knew it would hurt

When I climbed into that well

When there wasn’t any water

Well it hurt like hell

But I live to tell, oh oh

I live to tell, oh oh

When my mom was sad for a long time

She only fixed us frozen corn

In the garage where she kept a year’s supply

We’d count the bags, my brother and I

I knew it would hurt

There’s a box on the shelf

With all the things that remind me of her

Well it hurt like hell

But I live to tell, oh oh

I live to tell, oh oh

I know it will hurt

When they lay her to rest

She’s only my mother

It’s the loneliest test

But I live to tell, oh oh

I live to tell, oh oh

I live to tell

Lovely Lies

Written by Jaqueline Rae Stewart in Brooklyn, NY.

I’ve been sleeping on a pile of stones

Slowly weakening my back bone

Every morning I hear it creak

I guess time’s wheel is spinning for me

My love sleeps in the same old bed

She sleeps right and I sleep left

When we go to dream at night

Both our heads tell lovely lies

Ohhhh and I believe those lovely lies

Ohhhh yeah I believe those lovely lies

I close my eyes

To revеl in those lovely lovely

Liiiiiiiеs

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lies

Those lovely liiiiiiies

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lies

We married young at twenty-three

I always feared she’d bury me

She promised that we’d grow old

Be the protectors of each others’ bones

If there’s just one thing I know

It’s that the only honest thing is hope

I see the future in her eyes

And I believe her lovely lies

Ohhhh yeah I believe her lovely lies

In the morning light

I revel in her lovely lovely

Liiiiiiies

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lies

Her lovely liiiiiiies

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lies

Lovely liiiiiiies

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lies

Her lovely liiiiiiies

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lies
