This song floored me on first listen and continues to stop me in my tracks. With all its aching and longing, it has all the making of being on a Tired Pony album. This is one of Gary's finest work to date; he still hasn't lost his craft!
This is sweetly sad😔 who would want to stay stuck, trapped, and imprisoned in pain. Grieving mistakes, bad choices, loss. Dwelling in pain leaves you numb in the past. You can't enjoy the present and the future becomes obsolete. At some point there must be forgiveness, acceptance and letting go. The melody of this song is beautiful, but the lyrics ring of such pain and sorrow. A coming to terms, while saturated with grievances and empathic apologies. 😥 It's sincerity, will resonate with many. Well done!
Saying goodbye to someone we loved so much who was very valuable to us, was a part of our lives. Not final, we won't lie to him/her anymore. But it's still very sad.💔😥
What a great tune, so sad. It gives me the impression that Gary with this song is like standing in front of the mirror and talking to his old self. In what he was and what he didn't want to be.
Just went to the show in SF last night...this song brought tears to my eyes...found a few videos with slight variations on the lyrics (I put slashes where there are variations). I'm pretty confident that these are correct. (: These Lies I'm not gonna lie to you anymore after these lies then no more: I never really loved you at all so just walk away don't ever call your kiss it never brought me to my knees I didn't ache for you like/till my heart would seize and time it never slowed down over us when you were here with me it was never thus (Ooooo) and my hand never dials up your number and it's not like I want you to wonder if I'm lost and I'm thinkin' of you 'cause yaaaa/yes I'm fine/here and I'm finally clearer to understand what it is to be nearer and that love is just pain in reverse and all of these lies a'mine and they're the only thing that's fine and the only way I'll wear this for now and when we meet again you won't see it in me then 'cause I buried it in all that you're not so all I've got are lies for you even now they're all carved in me in the dust somehow so when I say I never felt the garden burst into life when I looked at you well it must be true 'cause I've told myself a million times who you weren't so I can finally forget who you were 'cause if who you are is everything then I missed it how could I live now like some counterfeit? (Oooooo) and my hand never dials up your number and it's not like I want you to wonder if I'm lost and I"m thinkin' of you 'cause yes I'm fine and I'm finally clearer to understand what it is to be nearer and that love is just pain in reverse and all of these lies a'mine and they're the only thing that's fine and the only way I'll wear this for now and when we meet again you won't see it in me then 'cause I buried it in all that you're not I'm not gonna lie to you anymore after these lies then no more
I’m not going to lie to you Anymore After these lies Then no more I never really loved you at all So just walk away Don’t ever call Your kiss it never brought me to my knees I didn’t ache for you Like my heart would seize And time it never slowed down over us When you were here with me It was never thus The hand never dials up your number It’s not like I want you to wonder If I’m lost and I’m thinking of you Yes I’m here and I’m finally clear To understand what it is to be near And that love is just Pain in reverse And all these lies of mine Are the only thing that is fine The only length I witness For love And when we meet again You will see it in my eyes Cos I buried it All that you loved So all I have got is lies for you Even now They are all carved in me In the dust somehow So when I say I never felt the garden burst Into life when I looked at you Well it must be true Cos I’ve told myself a million times Who you weren’t So I could finally forget Who you were Cos if who you are Is everything And I mistook How could I live now Like some counterfeit The hand never dials up your number And it’s not like I want you to wonder If I’m lost and I’m thinking of you Yes, I’m finally, finally clear To understand what it is to be near And that love is Just pain in reverse And all these lies of mine The only thing that is fine And the only way I’ll witness for now And when we meet again You will see it in my eyes Cos I buried it All that you loved I’m not going to lie to you anymore After these lies Then no more (My attempt at lyrics, the falsetto was a bitch and I’ve done my best- feel free to amend)
Thanks so much for writing the lyrics down. I was going to try, but have been too busy. I’ll add them to the description for everyone to see if you don’t mind.
Well done for the transcript - there are a couple of bits I heard differently - but my take may be wrong: “Because if who you are is everything, and I missed it - how could I live now Like some counterfeit” “And all these lies of mine are the only thing that’s fine, and the only way I wear this for now. And when we meet again, you won’t see it there, cause I buried it with all that you are.”

These Lies
I'm not gonna lie to you anymore
after these lies then no more:
I never really loved you at all
so just walk away
don't ever call
your kiss it never brought me to my knees
I didn't ache for you like/till my heart would seize
and time it never slowed down over us
when you were here with me it was never thus
(Ooooo) and my hand never dials up your number
and it's not like I want you to wonder
if I'm lost and I'm thinkin' of you
'cause yaaaa/yes I'm fine/here and I'm finally clearer
to understand what it is to be nearer
and that love is just pain in reverse
and all of these lies a'mine
and they're the only thing that's fine
and the only way I'll wear this for now
and when we meet again
you won't see it in me then
'cause I buried it in all that you're not
so all I've got are lies for you even now
they're all carved in me in the dust somehow
so when I say I never felt the garden burst into life
when I looked at you well it must be true
'cause I've told myself a million times who you weren't
so I can finally forget who you were
'cause if who you are is everything then I missed it
how could I live now like some counterfeit?
(Oooooo) and my hand never dials up your number
and it's not like I want you to wonder
if I'm lost and I"m thinkin' of you
'cause yes I'm fine and I'm finally clearer
to understand what it is to be nearer
and that love is just pain in reverse
and all of these lies a'mine
and they're the only thing that's fine
and the only way I'll wear this for now
and when we meet again
you won't see it in me then
'cause I buried it in all that you're not
I'm not gonna lie to you anymore
after these lies then no more
I was there, thanks for uploading, shear brilliance
Ty Karen for posting 😊
I’m not going to lie to you
Anymore
After these lies
Then no more
I never really loved you at all
So just walk away
Don’t ever call
Your kiss it never brought me to my knees
I didn’t ache for you
Like my heart would seize
And time it never slowed down over us
When you were here with me
It was never thus
The hand never dials up your number
It’s not like I want you to wonder
If I’m lost and I’m thinking of you
Yes I’m here and I’m finally clear
To understand what it is to be near
And that love is just
Pain in reverse
And all these lies of mine
Are the only thing that is fine
The only length I witness
For love
And when we meet again
You will see it in my eyes
Cos I buried it
All that you loved
So all I have got is lies for you
Even now
They are all carved in me
In the dust somehow
So when I say I never felt the garden burst
Into life when I looked at you
Well it must be true
Cos I’ve told myself a million times
Who you weren’t
So I could finally forget
Who you were
Cos if who you are
Is everything
And I mistook
How could I live now
Like some counterfeit
The hand never dials up your number
And it’s not like I want you to wonder
If I’m lost and I’m thinking of you
Yes, I’m finally, finally clear
To understand what it is to be near
And that love is
Just pain in reverse
And all these lies of mine
The only thing that is fine
And the only way
I’ll witness for now
And when we meet again
You will see it in my eyes
Cos I buried it
All that you loved
I’m not going to lie to you anymore
After these lies
Then no more
(My attempt at lyrics, the falsetto was a bitch and I’ve done my best- feel free to amend)
On rehearing this, change “and when we meet again, you won’t see it in the air, cos I buried it, all that you loved” possibly
