Everybody lies is a song about the lies that spread through the world, and how every single human has lied at some point, which in itself may be the only “truth” as expressed in the song.
We do what we have to
When we fall in love
We say what we need to get out
When it's not enough
Whether it's to yourself
Or looking at someone else
Everybody lies, lies, lies
It's the only truth sometimes
Doesn't matter if it's out there
Somewhere
Waiting for the world to find
Or buried deep inside
Everybody lies
Just being honest
We're playing for both sides
It's easy to decieve but it's hard
When the trust that's broken is mine
For better or for worse
For the happy, for the hurt
Everybody lies, lies, lies
It's the only truth sometimes
Doesn't matter if it's out there
Somewhere
Waiting for the world to find
Or buried deep inside
Yeah, everybody lies
Everybody lives
And everybody dies
Yeah
Oh, it doesn't matter if it's out there
Somewhere
Waiting for the world to find
Or buried deep inside
Or buried deep inside
Everybody lies
