Why don’t you talk to me and tell me what I’m not?
Why don’t you lie to me and say I’m the only one?
Cause I know the rest are waiting for our last goodbye and I
I wouldn’t lie to you
I only tell the truth
If it cuts me in two
I couldn’t lie to you
So you pack your bags and leave straight out the door
I wish we had talked about it a little more
Then I’d count the days just waiting for our last goodbye and I
I couldn’t lie to you
If you only knew
Moved on to someone new
I couldn’t lie to you
All the times that I could laugh
’bout you sneaking round my back
I’d just cry ’bout it for days
And yet still I got the blame
When you said you needed space
I could see your lying face
So I guess that it’s the proof
I was always here for you
I couldn’t lie to you
If you only knew
I noted all the clues
I never lied to you
But all the times that I held back Screaming ’bout the nerve you had
Yeah you still didn’t trust me
It seems I made you unhappy
Then you said you needed space
I could see your lying face
So I slammed it back on you
And in that moment I knew
I couldn’t lie to you
If you only knew
I noted all the clues
I never lied to you
