The Weight Of Lies Lyrics - Emotionalism - Avett Brothers

Disappear from you hometown 

Go and find the people that you know 

Show them all you good parts 

Leave town when bad ones start to show 

Go and wed a woman 

A pretty girl that you've never met 

Make sure she knows you love her well 

But don't make any other promises 

The weight of lies will bring you down 

And follow you to every town 

Cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there 

So when you run make sure you run 

To something and not away from 

Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'You Need To Calm Down' - LYRICS 

I once heard the worse thing 

A man could do is draw a hungry crowd 

Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence 

But leaving out his doubt 

I'm not sure I bought those words 

When I was young I knew most everything 

These words have never met so much to anyone 

As they now mean to me

The weight of lies will bring you down 

And follow you to every town 

Cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there 

So when you run make sure you run 

To something and not away from 

Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down
