“It’s a Lie” is a song written by Jimmy Zero, the rhythm guitarist for American punk rock group Dead Boys. Michael Monroe included his own cover of it as the fourth track of his debut solo album, Nights Are So Long.
It's a lie when you told me what you said
It's a lie, things you hid inside your head
I realize why I always failed to see the times
That you cried
It's a lie when you walk the other way
It's a lie when you tell me you can't stay
It's no too late to be the man who realized
When we died
It's a lie. It's a lie
It's a lie when you talk about it
Alibis become your big habit
Wondering who you can tell your tales to
When all the words are see-through, see-through
It's a lie. It's a lie
It's a lie when you tell me it's a fact
It's a lie, black is white and white is black
I feel inclined to smile 'cause you see
Your eyes remind me all the while
It's a lie. It's a lie. It's a lie
It's a lie
