Parents Lie Lyrics by Heidi Blickenstaff

2018

[ELLIE]
Parents lie
It's sad, but true
Mine lied to me
Yours lies to you
I lie to you
We say there's no monster there under your bed, but who knows?
It's not like we search
And no one likes broccoli, we're all bad at flossing
And everyone's sleeping in church
And Buck the dog's not at a farm
Buck is dead
And soda won't kill you despite what I said
And Magic, Kid...
(spoken)
Just forget what I said
(sung)
No, magic is real
But magic won't help you conceal
That, parents lie
Because they can
So, learn the truth
My bright, young man
They lie with words
They lie with hugs
Parents lie
They lie like rugs
And parents will tell you you're great and special and stuff
When clearly, you're not
They say that one day, you'll feel normal
But that's not enough, it's not by a lot
They'll hold you and tell you they love and they care
But they lie when they tell you they'll always be there
I know it's upsetting, but life isn't fair
And parents die
They tell you they won't, but they lie
Oh, parents lie
It's hard to hear
It's hard to say
It's true, I fear
It's fine to cry
It's sad, I know
That parents lie
But parents lie
So come on, here we are
(spoken) Let's go
