The Lie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't get around it, so I
Dig underneath it, and my
Lips started twitching as I lie
How could I do that
Wish I could take it back
Do I trust, say goodbye
Now between you and I
There's a lie
Have you ever been (ah ha)
In this predicament (ah ha)
When you know you're doing wrong
Instead of facing it (ah ha)
You try to bury it
It breaks the ground you're standing on
Baby, I'm sorry
You should just leave me
Just leave me alone
For the arms of love
Only carry a lie for so long
Although you haven't caught it, I just
Have to admit it, I must
Look into a mirror everyday
I have to answer too
You saying, I love you
If I lose you this time
At least I'm free from the lie
Have you ever been (ah ha)
In this predicament (ah ha)
When you know you're doing wrong
Instead of facing it (ah ha)
You try to bury it
It breaks the ground you're standing on
Baby, I'm sorry
You should just leave me
Just leave me alone
For the arms of love
Only carry a lie for so long (for so long)
(baby, baby)
Baby, I'm sorry (baby, I'm sorry)
You should just leave me
Just leave me alone
For the arms of love
Only carry a lie for so long (carry a lie for so long)
The lie...
The lie...
Baby, I'm sorry
You should just leave me (leave me, leave me)
Just leave me alone (leave me)
For the arms of love
Only carry a lie for so long (carry a lie for so long)
Baby, I'm sorry (baby, I'm sorry)
(baby, I'm sorry) You should just leave me
Just leave me alone
For the arms of love
Only carry a lie for so long (the lie, the lie)
(for so long) Baby, I'm sorry (for so long)
You should just leave me
Just leave me alone (just leave me alone)
For the arms of love
Only carry a lie for so long (the lie, the lie, the lie...)
Baby, I'm sorry
You should just leave me
Just leave me alone
For the arms of love (the arms of love)
Only carry a lie for so long (carry a lie for so long)
For so long, for so long, for so long, for so long
For so long, for so long, for so long, for so long
For so long, for so long, for so long, for so long
