Outright Lies

I try my best to reach perfection
 And all I get is more rejection
 I wanna know what you're about
 It's nice to know someone's out there asking
 But what's it worth when it's all you're telling?
 I think it's you I've finally figured out
 Those outright lies you've said are knocking me down
 What's left to do when your life's turned upside down?
 I've gotten flak from all who know me
 If you speak truth then you need to show me
 You can't expect me to just nod my head and smile
 'Cause ignorance is not my style
 As my false pride gets in the way
 I start believing all you say
 I cross my fingers all the while
 I'm running in a different race
 I'm out of time and out of place
 I play the sucker all the time
 I simply can't make up my mind
 Whoever I choose to believe
 Who says they won't stand up and leave
 And who'll be waiting next in line
 Won't you give me another sign?
 Those outright lies you've said are knocking me down
 What's left to do when your life's turned upside down?
