Lie

By: Tom Rhodes and Zachary Kibbee

Holding out an open hand

Think about what should have been

Don't talk like that anymore

Stay outside, close the door

Keep it down, trying to sleep

Take it all away from me

I turned the lights way down low

I hear my mind in stereo

In my head

I'm losing the connection

Don't you tell me what went wrong

I can lie I can lie

Don't you know that you let me down

I can lie I can lie

When the truth won't make it better

I can lie I can lie

Yeah you knocked me down

And I can lie here forever

Don't cut the line, pull the thread

Don't you take another step

Don't think like that anymore

Stay inside, close the door

We try so hard to keep it strong

I'll pretend, you'll play along

I'm not trying to be alone

But in my mind, you're letting go

And after all this time

I'm left with this deception

So don’t tell me what went wrong

I can lie I can lie

Don’t you know that you let me down

But I can lie I can lie

When the truth won’t make it better

I can lie I can lie

You know that you knocked me down

But I can lie here forever

But don’t tell me what went wrong

I can lie I can lie

Yeah you know that you let me down

But I can lie I can lie

And when the truth won’t make it better

I can lie I can lie

You know that you knocked me down

But I can lie I can lie

So don’t tell me what went wrong

I can lie I can lie

Don’t you know that you let me down

But I can lie I can lie

When the truth won’t make it better

I can lie I can lie

You know that you knocked me down

But I can lie here forever
