Terrible Lie (sympathetic Mix)
Nine Inch Nails
Head Like a Hole (1990)

hey god, why are you doing this to me?
am i not living up to what i'm supposed to be?
why am i seething with this animosity?
hey god, i think you owe me a great big apology
terrible lie...terrible lie
i give you everything
terrible lie
my sweet everything
terrible lie
i give you everything
hey god, i really don't know what you mean
seems like salvation comes only in my dreams
i feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
hey god, can this world really be as sad as it seems?
terrible lie
i give you everything
terrible lie
my sweet everything
terrible lie
i give you everything
terrible lie
my sweet everything
don't take it away from me; i need you to hold on to
don't take it away from me; i need you to hold on to
don't take it away from me; i need you to hold on to
don't take it away from me; i need someone to hold on to
don't tear it away from me; i need you to hold on to
don't tear it away from me; i need someone to hold on to
don't tear it away from me; i need you to hold on to
don't tear it...don't tear it...don't take it, don't take it, don't...
hey god, there's nothing left for me to hide
i lost my ignorance, security, and pride
i'm all alone in a world you must despise
hey god, i believed your promises, your promises and lies
terrible lie
i give you everything
terrible lie
my sweet everythinjg
terrible lie
i give you everything
terrible lie
my sweet everything
terrible lie
you make me throw it all away
my morals left to decay (terrible lie)
how many you betray
you've taken everything (terrible lie)
my head is filled with disease
my skin is begging you, please (terrible lie)
i'm on my hands and knees
i want so much to believe...to believe...to believe
i give you everything
my sweet everything
i give you everything
my sweet everything
i give you everything (i need someone to hold on to...i need someone to hold on to)
my sweet everything (i need someone to hold on to...i need someone to hold on)
i give you everything (i need someone to hold on to...i need someone to hold on to)
my sweet everything (i need someone, i need some one...i need someone to hold on to)
there's nothing left for me to hide (there's nothing left for me to hide)
