Herndon, Ty - Lies I Told Myself Lyrics






Guys like you don't ever finish high school
You probably oughta quit and get a job
You're gonna wind up a drunk just like your uncle
I know you think you're different, but you're not

You're too small to catch a football
You're a fool to follow your heart
Crazy for even thinking you've got a chance with that guitar
And who they said you were
Is who you'll always be
Some lies I told myself
I'm glad I didn't believe

Money's the only thing that makes you happy
And what you're looking for ain't in that church
A love like that only happens in the movies
A boy like you can't get a girl like her

You're too small to catch a football
You're a fool to follow your heart
Crazy for even thinking you've got a chance with that guitar
And no the truth doesn't always set you free
Some lies I told myself
I'm glad I didn't believe

Yeah praying's just a waste of time
So why even start
The good Lord ain't got time for guys like me
Forgiven is something you won't ever be
Some lies I told myself
I'm glad I didn't believe
Oh some lies I told myself
I'm glad I didn't believe

Herndon, Ty Lies I Told Myself Comments
  1. N.... H....

    If you believe in God you will read in the Bible that God calls homosexuals an Abomination & will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven ! TY said he knew it when he was in church with his mother ,he chose that life of sin over God ! God is the true Judge of everyone not me !!!

  2. G.... R....

    Why wasn't this a top ten hit on the Billboard Country Chart? Its an amazing song, full of country flavour and a great message

  3. D.... M....

    Fantastic Country Music singer. That's all anyone needs to know and that matters. Extremely talented and we are blessed to be able to enjoy your music. So happy that you are living your best life now. Best wishes for continued happiness and success. One day I hope to see you perform live in person.

  4. K.... W....

    SO good! "I'm too old, not 'cool' enough to learn drums" HA! #chixwithstixrock #fearless

  5. S.... ....

    This video shows a female in the background at 45 secs in. I believe she is the same female from Living in a moment vid and heathers wall. am I correct?. I Have never known an artist to have so many songs that I LOVE! Stay true to you Ty. I believe your voice is a true gift to all.

  6. B.... I....

    Come back,Ty, and bring our traditional Country music back with you. It's sad what the big corporations have done to it for money. The heart is gone from the music I so loved. I miss it!

    I'm pretty sure this Video & Song was made for or help for those that are having problems being Gay an before someone even goes crazy cause I said the word Gay I don't have a Problem with it NONE at all !!!
    But I did want to comment on this though this Song Touches me because I had a Rough Upbringing with my Parents an when you aren't Loved or felt Loved an get told you are Worthless an a Slut,Whore,Bitch ALL before the Age of 12-13 an me I've NEVER came close to doing anything as so being called a Slut/Whore that was just how my Mother was....But sadly your REAL Mother is supposed to LOVE you she's at LEAST the 1 person in your life that is supposed to Protect you an LOVE you...

  46. r.... 1....

    Hope the hell you told your ex-wife you were gay when you were married to her and having sex..... hope you had the decency not to pass on a sexual transmitted disease to your ex-wife....... let’s not forget that this pervert was also arrested for exposing himself to an undercover cop...... don’t really care what your sexual preference is....... but it does explain why you’re gay.

  47. J.... W....

    Great Talent !!!!

  48. S.... P....

    from the first time i saw you. i knew you were, and i accept u for who u are. we love n support u. god bless you ty, you are a great singer and need to be more accepted for who u are, you need more likes n more followers on youre music. need more supporters on ur side to.

  49. S.... P....

  50. s.... ....

    This song really hit home for me. I know how it feels to be told you will never amount to anything and be made to feel like you are wrong for existing. Songs like this matter because if one kid can hear it an discover that they aren't alone and aren't the only one then it's worth it's weight in gold.

  51. s.... D....

    Inspirational !!! 

  52. h.... d....

    that was a pile of buffalo droppings, give me anita carter, lefty frizell, wanda jackson, hank snow, hank locklin and stonewall jackson ANY DAY

  53. j.... ....

    Ty looks so good in leather!

  54. B.... F....

    Sexy Man with an incredible Voice......Story telling at the best.....Bob

  55. K.... E....

    Need more songs like this. Positive.

    K.... E....

    I definitely agree

  56. S.... V....

    Have been a fan since Ty first hit the music seen. Love his sound and videos. Everyone keeps talking about him being gay but I have no idea what that has to do with his beautiful voice and wonderful songs. Ty I love you and your music period! I don't care if you're gay, straight, purple with green dots it doesn't change the quality of your music or your soul. Please keep singing a true fan.

    S.... V....

    Being gay or not
    Should have nothing to do with his music .

  57. R.... ....

    I saw the movie I DO ( yea i'm late) and i heard Ty's song I DO and i became an instant fan of Ty's music thank you.

  58. D.... B....

    How can you not love this song and video💁

  59. B.... ....

    I absolutely love this song I have replayed it over and over again for two days. It really hits home and describes the human nature of restraining ourselves from our dreams. Its made me feel better and ready to be a dreamer again.

  60. m.... M....

    Have always loved his voice.....and he got better with age!

  61. c.... ....

    He should go hang out with Chely Wright.

  62. D.... B....

    I love this video. The words are powerful. Thanks for singing it Ty. As usual excellent job. LOVE your voice..

  63. R.... B....

    Love Ty, and love this song!  OK, he's a hero, too!

  64. d.... d....

    Ty, thank you for the part you played in changing our country's heart and soul and promoting equality for the LGBT community.  You have done so much and have made all of us so proud.  I have so much respect for you & I love and thank you for it. <3

  65. S.... ....

    Pretty sad how songs like tis and Journey On never hit the charts. :(

  66. J.... P....

    Love the song and especially the heartfelt way you presented it. Continued happiness and success in all you do,

  67. N.... H....

    I like this song a lot. But even more, I love the meaning. It's beautiful.

  68. F.... ....

    God knows this song fits me 100% every single bit of it. I've told myself more lies than I can count. Most I believed til I proved otherwise to myself. Some I still believe.
    This song cuts to the core, amazing lyrics .

  69. h.... ....

    You have a new fan! Stay true to yourself. You are talented and that should be all that matters!!!!

  70. b.... ....

    No matter what his sexual preference is, he has always had a "goose bump" voice. All his music is wonderful.  There is a title song from a movie called "I Do" (movie and song). The song has so much feeling and meaning to it, it is a perfect wedding song for straight and gay that it would sell millions if it were released. There are lies I was told and lies I told myself that I believed until I realized that they were just lies that I didn't have to believe. Don't believe the lies, believe in yourself...

  71. J.... B....

    13+ years, and just married a month ago in NYC.  Ty, and ALL the ones before, thanks for all your time proving that our love is real!

  72. F.... U....

    El video es muy sugestivo .
    Será su vida en este video ?

  73. T.... ....

    I absolutely LOVE this single and video.  Ty you are an AMAZING artist.  This song has emotional resonance.  The video translates that resonance perfectly!! I think you are by far and away one of the BEST in country music.  I applaud your courage coming out in an industry that would rather stifle  you than allow you to be the incredible man you are.  I wish you all the luck in the world and personally, I CANNNOT WAIT to buy your new album. 

  74. d.... d....

    Thank you.  I have been a gay country music fan for years and years.  Your courage is so appreciated and respected.  Continued success and this video made me cry, because so many of the lies i told myself I didn't believe either.  <3  God bless you.

  75. H.... ....

    Ty Great song, Great voice...keep going man!!!
    Regards from Mexico City.

  76. M.... C....

    Live true, live loud, live loved but just let someone live the way they want. I've met you a few times Ty. You'll never meet a more kind and humble guy. Proud of you!

  77. k.... w....

    Ty, we Love you Never Forget That :)

  78. R.... G....

    Outstanding!!!

  79. W.... A....

    I love it!!truly an amazing song: )

  81. V.... P....

    Ty you're one of the best singers out there. You should be getting a lot more air play with this song.  Hope to see you at the awards shows!

  82. D.... B....

    What an incredible song.  What an incredible message.  What an incredible performance.  Thank you Ty.  It's a great gift to have your voice back in our heads and in our hearts.  Don't let ANYTHING stop you again.  We believe in you...the same way you believe in us.

  83. m.... j....

    Sounds like a hit song! Always a fan of you since day one. A remarkable true country artist!

  84. s.... ....

    Awesome song and message..

  85. s.... ....

    Well done.

  86. s.... ....

    Thank You!

  87. p.... ....

    Oh my gawd!!!!  There are queer folk in country music??????  Who'dathunk!? 

    Ty, you helped more people than you will ever know!!  Carry on my brother!!

  88. m.... ....

    So touching! I can find myself in that song. Thank you!
    And congrats for your courageous step out of the closet! 
    Kudos from Germany

  89. H.... F....

    good boy!

  90. r.... j....

    And it turns out that Billy Gilman came out too.

  91. r.... ....

    Awesome song!  

  92. C.... D....

    Love this song!

  93. B.... J....

    Thanks Ty!

  94. o.... ....

    Was that Anita Cochran jamming on that electric guitar?

  95. J.... L....

    Ty has been living openly for years and he finally came out publicly now. I'm so proud of him. And putting the word EQUALITY in a country music video was brave enough itself. 

  96. T.... W....

    Really beautiful. Thank you for sharing and I wish you so much love and happiness.

  97. k.... ....

    easily STILL after all of these years one of the best male vocalists in country music. would love to see a song like this on country radio again. the entire country genre has lost it's soul to horrible horrible pop crap like Florida Georgia Line. to hell with all of that mess. we need REAL songs like this from true artists like Ty!

  98. 1.... ....

    Congratulations Ty, I know it was probably hard. You have helped others like myself. Love the song. May God continue to bless you.

  99. G.... G....

    Great song! Good luck to you Ty! I suspect that the view count on this will skyrocket. What other amazing gay Country singers are hiding in the closet? 

  100. J.... H....

    Great, Bravo. I see a little sorrow in your eyes, maybe because you remembered the past while singing. I am gay as well, and i was not believing the lies as well until one day i believed them and since then i went into depression, now i am recovering and going back to not believing the lies
