No Lies, Just Love Lyrics
Artist(Band):Bright Eyes
It was in the march of the winter I turned 17
that I bought those pills
I thought I would need
and I wrote a letter to my family
said it's not your fault
and you've been good to me
just lately I've been feeling
like I don't belong
like the ground is not mine to walk upon
and I've heard that music
echo through the house
where my grandmother drank
by herself
and I sat watching a flower
as it was withering
I was embarrased by it's honesty
so I'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling face
not this fucking wreck
that's taken it's place
so please forgive what I have done
no you can't stay mad at the setting sun
cause we all get tired I mean eventually
and there's nothing left to do but sleep
but spring came bearing sunlight
those persuasive rays
so I gave myself a few more days
my salvation it came, quite suddenly
when Justin spoke very plainly
he said "Of course it's your decision,
but just so you know,
if you decide to leave,
soon I will follow"
I wrote this for a baby
who has yet to be born
my brother's first child
I hope that womb's not too warm
cause it's cold out here
and it'll be quite a shock
to breathe this air
to discover loss
so I'd like to make some changes
before you arrive
so when your new eyes meet mine
they won't see no lies
just love.
just love.
I will be pure,
No, no, I know I will be pure.
Like snow- like gold-
like snow- like gold--

Review about No Lies, Just Love

I've probably had this song for a long time now, part of a group I downloaded once I learned I enjoyed Bright Eyes.
I never heard it until today. Its a very beautiful song. It shocked me how beautiful it really was.

i heard this song first a few years back, and it's probably my favourite ever song next to chicago by sufjan stevens. I even have the words "no lies, just love" tattoo'd on me, it's that good :)
my life wouldnt be complete without this song, or without conor in it for that matter!

I had a playlist of some mellow songs to listen to while I was painting, so I'd heard it a few times times before I actually paid attention to the lyrics. It was so beautiful and sad it made me cry. I, like most people who've commented, can relate to it, unfortunately. I've now got a painting in the works that was totally inspired by this song.

I didnt really mean to find this song
but when I heard it I was instantly
shocked because it found me.
I was in tears I almost went in to
shock because the night I heard this song I was planning to go to sleep and never wake up, to say good-bye to life, to die. I was on the net talking to this boy that would never know how much I cared about him. He didnt know it but secretly I was saying good-bye. I was listening to a sight wih music on it and this song came on and I listened and after it was over I just couldnt beleive the words I had to listen again
and then th tears came an dont ask me why but I decided to stay.
In loving memory of Kacey Connell. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/22/2008
Kacey and I were best friends, we met in the hospital after we both attempted suicide. She took over 60 pills, I jumped out of a car while on the highway. She was always there for me, and I for her. I didn't want to leave this world, but I guess she really did. We promised each other that we would stay here for each other, I knew if I had ever done it, she would follow. I had heard this song when I was younger, but three days after Kacey hung herself and I was getting ready to end it all I was listening to my music on shuffle and heard this song. This song didn't save me, because the only thing that could ever save you is yourself. But I know Kacey wouldn't ever want me did, and she didn't do this to betray me, she knew I was there for her, but it was time for her to sleep. I love you, Kacey. Thanks for the song Conor.

This was the first Bright Eyes song i ever heard. When i first listened to it i was paying much attention and just liked the tune. The second time i paid attention to the lyrics and it really touched me. It makes me cry nearly every time. Its beautiful and has such raw emotion
breath taking | Reviewer: teenage feelings | 1/15/2008
this song is possibly one of the best ever created. i've been there, worte the letter to my folks, took the pills, but swore blind i wouldn't let anyone see me crack up or breakdown, they always saw me smiling. After being found with the letters by my side, i was rushed to hospital to have my stomach pumped where they kept me for a while, and they kept switching me from wards to wards, and wouldnt let me go anywhere alone, not even for some frsh air, it was the worst ever. everyone looks down at you, and you get all these people shouting at you. you try to shut it out but you cant, so you just sit. sit, wait and stare because thers nothing else to do. no-where to escape and no-one to talk too.
sometimes this world gets rather lonely, rather shit, and you feel you have nothing left, no-one or anything. the 'professional help' is shit.
you dont want people to be sad that your gone, cuz yu dont wana hurt anyone, but even more so you cant continue to live, to breathe.
and this song is a prime example of that feeling.
great song | Reviewer: matt | 10/30/2007
i can relate to basically everything in here perfectly.
last night I was listening to my huge bright eyes playlist while laying in my bed trying to fall asleep, and I knew this songs really good but i've never taken the time to really listen to the lyrics and message. It really got me when its just conor singing about writing it for a baby, I love how that part has minimal instrumentation and its just really climactic how he ties in the title.
11/10
best song ever | Reviewer: me :) | 9/4/2007
I turned 17 this last march.. when i heard this song... i cried. I also attempted with pills. I figured why write a letter. I'm a waste of paint. ;)
I love this song. I wish I could personally thank conor..
want to hear something even more eerie?
my name... is conner.

Brilliant I like when he refers to wanting to be pure "like snow like gold" it's just beautiful.
