[Verse 1]
He was born with a silver tongue,
Always quick with a tale to be spun.
From the first time he bent the truth,
It became his way, it became his proof.
Told his mama he'd be a man,
But broke her heart with a dirty hand.
She'd sit up late and wonder why,
Her boy was living in a house of lies.
[Chorus]
A house of lies, built brick by brick,
Each one laid with a story slick.
No one stays, they all walk out,
When trust is gone, there’s no doubt.
He’s a man who lost it all in time,
Living in his own house of lies.
[Verse 2]
He loved a girl back in '95,
Told her he’d never leave her side.
Promised her the moon and stars,
While he gambled their dreams in smokey bars.
She packed her bags when the truth came out,
His empty words left no room for doubt.
He watched her go, but he didn’t cry,
Just another crack in his house of lies.
[Chorus]
A house of lies, built brick by brick,
Each one laid with a story slick.
No one stays, they all walk out,
When trust is gone, there’s no doubt.
He’s a man who lost it all in time,
Living in his own house of lies.
[Bridge]
Now he’s older, gray and worn,
His bridges burned, his soul torn.
He stares at pictures, faded and torn,
Of faces gone, of love forlorn.
He whispers prayers to the empty skies,
But there’s no mercy for a house of lies.
[Chorus]
A house of lies, built brick by brick,
Each one laid with a story slick.
No one stays, they all walk out,
When trust is gone, there’s no doubt.
He’s a man who lost it all in time,
Living in his own house of lies.
[Outro]
And when he’s gone, they won’t recall,
The man he claimed to be at all.
Just whispers echo where his name dies,
The legacy of a house of lies.
