Is the song "Behind blue eyes" contradicting itself? ?

Question

In the first part of the song the first person narrator tells about his feelings (that no one knows what it's like to be fated to telling only lies). So he might sing the song under the fate of telling lies too.
But in the third part he says "I'm not telling lies"
IMO it's like a paradox like:

The sentence below is wrong.
The sentence above is true. 

What do you think ?!?

I don't think that the song is contradicting itself.
You see, i think that he is singing about how he feels, and he's not lying about what he feels, and that's why he says that he's not "telling lies" Hearing the song for the first time and reading through the lyrics just gave me that impression and i hope that that helps you. ♦
