If I Told You the Truth I Would Be Made of Lies Songtext
von Omar Rodríguez‐López

Losing all the limbs I ever owned
To a woman of small-minded talents
Plucking the wings of a flowerless heart
I endured the lies for far too long
All the naked confessions were in vain
Only to be seen by the runt of a queen
Of a small brittle heart
From a small brittle part of a small brittle heart
If she told me the truth I would′ve hunted her down
If she told me one truth I would've hunted her
And left her out to dry
Taking dead admissions from my skin
Since the day she grew gray and colder
Taking the switch from a powerless light
Younger skies of me have turned to dust
Yes, those naked confessions were in vain
At least they were seen by that runt of a queen
Of a small brittle heart
From a small brittle part, yes, a small little heart
If she told me the truth I would′ve hunted her down


If she told you the truth from the start
You would've laughed yourself to sleep
If she told me one truth I would've hunted her
And left her out to dry, dry
Left her out to dry
She says
If I told you the truth I would be made of lies
If I told you the truth I would be made of lies
If I told you the truth I would be made of lies
If I told you the truth I would be made of lies
She tells herself
I have the body of a deer
But only when it turns to slime
You′re missing all your teeth, my dear
Don′t think that I'll be fooled this time
Nothing belongs to me
Just take what you want because it means nothing
Belongs to me
Just take what you want because it means nothing
If she told me the truth I would′ve hunted her down
And if she told you one truth from the start
You would've laughed yourself to sleep
If she told me one truth I would′ve hunted her
And left her out to dry, dry
Left her out to dry
She says
If I told you the truth I would be made of lies
If I told you the truth I would be made of lies
If I told you the truth I would be made of lies
If I told you the truth I would be made of lies
