Marie Moreshead - Everything You Hear lyrics

You can't believe everything you hear That's what gets you into trouble my dear The mind tells lies just as well as you and i But it will try and steal the reins and fly I can tell you're tired but i know you'll never sleep 'cause you've got a head filled with secrets that you keep I can tell you're lost and i want to be your guide But i can't compete with those things you hold inside You fall fast 'cause you think more than you'd like to Then you say you're okay with being not okay Well, i don't mean to rain on your parade But you've got to stop living your life this way Don't say yes if what you really mean is no Or you'll get caught in an undertow Don't sweat the details, they'll only drag you down And life's too short to worry about them anyhow You fall fast 'cause you think more than you'd like to Then you say you're okay with being not okay Well, i don't mean to rain on your parade But you've got to stop living, you've got to stop living your life this way I watch you stare off into dead space Are you content or are you dreaming of some other place If we all listened to every little thought We'd never know just when to stop We'd fall fast if we took advice from everyone We'd get caught up and say i never saw it that way Don't trick yourself into believeing what's not there Or you'll never see the truth even if it's plain and clear You fall fast 'cause you think more than you'd like to Then you say you're okay with being not okay Well, i don't mean to rain on your parade But you've got to stop living your life this way You can't believe everything you hear That's what gets you into trouble my dear
