We lie in the dark I know you're awake The only sounds are the sounds this old house But, Oh, I long, I long to hear your voice Desperate to talk, yearning to touch Burning inside 'cause I want you so much So I say I need you and leave you choice
You lie you don't want to hurt me So you lie, buy a time, and I go along What else can I do, maybe wrong But you know how much I love you So you lie 'til you can find a way to goodbye You lie
How long until you just can't go on And the urge to break loose is just too strong You let go that's what you want to do Oh but you don't know, you know If it's the right thing to do
You lie you don't want to hurt me So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along What else can I do, maybe wrong But you know how much I love you you lie 'til you can find a way to say goodbye You lie
