"Stretch the truth" in lyrics
You cried, I tried
To stretch the truth, but didn't lie
It's not so bad when you think about it
I admit, my thinking is wishful
Like a star upon a child gazing up to the ceiling
How far do we have to stretch the truth
To fit the lifestyles borrowed and overdue?
Rex Orange County - A Song About Being Sad
[Verse 2]
Constantly told stories with a stretch of the truth
Trying hard to make memories to remember from youth
Eric Martin - I can't stop the fire
I’ve been down and blue
Fill you full of lies and stretch the truth
Born into a reckless breed
Johnny Cash - American by Birth
I'm gonna slip off with my cousin
For a little shot of bourbon
Listen to him stretch the truth for a little while
I'm gonna sneak up behind my baby
Brockhampton - DEARLY DEPARTED
On the property now, money gets foul
Keep your wits about you
They stretch the truth longer than the Nile
Eyes full of evil, mouth full of vile
Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real - Find Yourself
You want me near and I know you fear me leaving you
You think that I won't say goodbye
But baby, I ain't standing by while you stretch the truth
Religion is a breeding ground
Where the Devil’s work is deeply found
With teeth as sharp as cathedral spires,
Slowly sinking in
How things can change is a good week?
Call me ruthless,
(But…) you stretch the truth, oh yes.
Keep your worries 'cause I've got my own
All your bullshit made me strong
You stretch the truth, I drive my hardships away
Unrelenting will, unrelenting
Cashmere Cat - Throw Myself a Party
[Verse 1: 2 Chainz]
Another party, 'nother Ferrari
I stretch the truth like pilates
See all of my hoes exotic
Library Voices - Drinking Games
I'm too old for these drinking games
She's not one for lies, but she'll sure stretch the truth
But I honestly think you're lying
Irony at it's best but trust when I say I'm trying
I'm hoping my best will do, I no longer stretch the truth
Cause I really gave her my all and I'm scared to death
Bleed From Within - Shapeshifter
I see a shapeshifter in the corner of the room
Restless embers fill this tomb
Don't look twice at the devil himself
The first is a blessing
Search the City - In This Scene You're Just an Extra
I will sing myself to sleep cause you've made a liar out of me
I watch my shadow stretch from my feet like the way we stretch the truth
I wish i could play the victim for you
And nothing's ever mended
You can stretch the truth
And patience wears you so thin
Let my heart believe you won′t stay gone
Baby, stretch the truth
Convince me there's still me and you
