Web Of Lies

Mike & The Mechanics

Just a minor indiscretion

No need to apologise

I don't want this to become an obsession

But I just can't believe my eyes



Evidence in my possession

Points a finger straight at you

Every day I'm closer to a confession

If only I can face the truth



Every mistake that you make

Drives the knife into my heart

Twisting down deeper and deeper

Still tearing me apart



I'm trying to find a grain of truth in this web of lies

I'm trying to find a grain of truth in this web of lies



You swear to god you're on the level

And you've nothing more to hide

Then I turn around and "speak of the devil"

You're both together side by side



Every mistake that you make

Seems more careless than the last

I'm just amazed that you try to cover

The tracks of your past



I'm trying to find a grain of truth in this web of lies

I'm trying to find a grain of truth in this web of lies



Have you got me in your pocket?

Am I eating from your hand

I think we need to shed some light on the matter

So I can really understand



Darlin' there's no perfect crime

That's left without a trace

And right now I'm judge and I'm jury

Till I can rest my case
