Don't Lie To Me

Don't Lie To Me
Why can't you just tell me the truth?
Hard to believe the things you say
Why can't you feel the tears I cried today?
Cried today, cried today
How do you win if we all lose?
You change the facts to justify
Your lips move but your words get in the way
In the way, in the way

Kings and Queens, crooks and thieves
You don't see the forest for the trees
Head and heart, on our knees
You can't see what we all see
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
You can build towers of bronze and gold
You can build castles in the sky
You can use smoke and mirrors, old clichés
Not today, not today
Kings and Queens, crooks and thieves
You don't see the forest for the trees
Head on heart, down on knees
You can't see what everyone sees
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me

Can't you see I'm crying?
Can't you see we're crying?
Where's the new horizon?
Where's the new horizon?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
Enough is enough
How do you sleep?
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Can't you see I'm crying?
Can't you see we're crying?

En la canción 'Don't Lie To Me' de Barbra Streisand, se plantea la frustración y desilusión ante la falta de sinceridad y verdad en las palabras de alguien. La artista cuestiona por qué es tan difícil simplemente decir la verdad y expresa la incredulidad ante las justificaciones manipuladas y las mentiras que entorpecen la comunicación...
