Sockpuppet - You Believed It Yourself

I look in your window
and nobody's there
last night you told me
you'd be doing your hair

I really do think
if we're going somewhere
We should be honest
About the feelings we share

but you tell another story
or you tell another lie
it is doing nothing for me
i don't know why you even try


I'm so very sorry
I hope you are fine
I worry about you
Getting sick all the time

So I have to wonder
Just give me a clue
How you were out with friends
While sick with the flu

and you tell another story
and you tell another lie
it is doing nothing for me
i don't know why you even try


I don't want to hear it
How your mother just died
This isn't the first time
That you have outright lied

I know what you're saying
Isn't honestly true
Or did you believe the person
I paid to tell you?

but you tell another story
or you tell another lie
it is doing nothing for me
i don't know why you even try

and you tell another story
and you tell another lie
i know you really abhor me
i don't know why you even try

Bad Boys at Bat Mitzvahs - same title as that one up there

expect me to say what i fucking think
and then respond in kind to me
most respectfully
i don't think i made my self clear when i said
that those pants would look good at the base of my bed
well, can't blame me for trying, i did all i could
but you can't take a joke, and you misunderstood
we'll keep playing these games of kiss and tell
in love with each other, well i'm upset with myself
and then oh..
that's when she went away
and oh..
right before she slapped my face
and oh..
then she
so this has come back round to haunt me
i don't even know if you want me
i'm digging these holes for myself once again
to end up like lovers or end up just like friends
well like birds of a feather let fly like a dove
and if you come back to me you know its true love
we'll keep playing these games of kiss and tell
in love with each other, you believed it yourself
and then oh..
that's when she went away
and oh..
right before she slapped my face
and oh..
then she...

YOU BELIEVED IT YOURSELF
King Arthur

You got a mega church, you got a TV show
You got a new book out, and you'd be ready to go
If you believed it yourself.

You got sermons to preach, you got pews to fill
You wouldn't feel so bad about the way you're paying the bills
If you believed it yourself.

You believed it yourself when you started out
Never a question, never a doubt
When you believed it yourself you were sincere
Now that you're older things aren't as clear.

You got a smile that smiles, you got a hand that shakes
You got a voice that calms, you'd have everything that it takes
If you believed it yourself.

You got a hideaway, private just for you
'Cause you got people watching everything that you do
To see if you believe it yourself.

(chorus 2x)

You Believed It Yourself

By Steve Durand

You're lying to me once again
And just like it's always been
I see right through it every time

You're telling me that it's OK
But how you act gives you away
By now I've learned to read the signs

The way that you pretend to cry
And you won't look me in the eye
Indicates to me you're insincere

If you believed it yourself
You'd be more convincing
And I might think that this thing
Is more than just a game

If you had to count
On trust to make a living
You wouldn't have a penny to your name

I had it in my head
That you meant what you said
That's why I took you back before

But that's no longer true
After what you put me through
I won't be fooled anymore

You tell me that your love is pure
I hear the words but I'm not sure
That I'm the one you're trying to persuade

If you believed it yourself
You'd be more convincing
And I might think that this thing
Is more than just a game

If you had to count
On trust to make a living
You wouldn't have a penny to your name

When you believed it yourself
I was more than willing
But now it's never going to be the same

Cock (R. Mosquito & Ujn Hunter)

Though you take it as a matter of faith
I've seen the useless crumbling heart
you rely on

Vain yet desperate to be someone else
You take the first hand
and you get led into the ground

Last time
exchanged and sold
This time
you feel like letting go
To feel like some one else

Last time
barely a sound
This time
I see you breaking down
While slipping into the lies

Though you take it as a matter of faith
I've seen the useless crumbling heart
you rely on

Vain yet desperate to be someone else
You take the first hand
of he who tells you
you're you

You believed it yourself
I could tell by the casual air
with which you first described him

So you sequester yourself
Acting like somebody else
but you can't tell me that
you still buy it

And so you awake in the morning
You're feeling so banal so common so cold
You gather your things up and go

Persuasion, it's lure is so strong
Persuasion deceives you, your concience
is weak and so it bends

You blink and then before you know
what might happen's happening

You believed it yourself
You can't be somebody else
You can't be somebody
by acting like sombody else

You believed it yourself
You can't be somebody else
You can't be somebody, no
you're just yourself

You believed it yourself
by Tuuur

You believed it yourself
that little story
that you told me all those years
You believed it yourself
you had your glory
now all that's left is tears

you know I'm hurting
way down inside
so listen to me please

You believed it yourself
but I finally
did open my eyes
You believed it yourself
and in the end
I saw through your lies

You said you didn't
but I know you got my Bart Simpson pen
just don't think I'll ever lend you anything again

You believed it yourself
ooooo
You believed it yourself
