Lie

so much for good good byes
i mumble as you try
to paint the door shut on your way

i wonder where time flies
do birds take the months by
the wing and show them how to disappear
if so why’d they leave me here?

if all i have to do is promise not to love you
all i have to do is lie
if all i have to do is promise not to love you
all i have to do is is lie
lie awake and cry
lie awake and cry

I’ve tried more I’ve cared less
I’ve prayed for forgiveness
I’ve been a cold voice on the phone
but that don’t make me less alone

if all i have to do is promise not to love you
all i have to do is lie
if all i have to do is promise not to love you
all i have to do is is lie
lie awake and cry
lie awake and cry

All I have to do is all I have to do
All I have to do is lie
All I have to do is all I have to do
All I have to do is lie

it’s never convenient
i know but the reasons
you left me pair badly with wine
so please don’t make me say it’s fine

if all i have to do is promise not to love you
all i have to do is lie
if all i have to do is promise not to love you
all i have to do is is lie
lie awake and cry
lie awake and cry
