It's True (It's a Lie)

If I had taken time to listen to you

Would I've seen the signs

Of what it all came to

If I had read your mind

It might've come true

Before you realized

What was happening to you

I'm talking about the time

It was "How do you do?"

Struggling for a line

We could both hold onto

Staying up all night

Wondering if it's cool

The stars up in the sky

Are offering you

Were they offering a lie?

Still I'm thinking about how it all affects you

It hurts so bad

Was it good for you, too?

Breaking up the ties

All wrapped up in you

And making up your mind

We should call it a truce

But I will live a lie

And say it's cool

I will live a lie

And say it's true

If you change your mind

I will change too

I won't try to fight

For keeping us from coming unglued

I'll tell the world I'm fine

When I see him with you

But still it hits me right

When I least expect it to

But I will live a lie

And say it's cool

I will live a lie

Then I'll say it's true

The stars up in the sky

Say that you're hurting too

But they don't tell me why

I just couldn't stay with you

I will live a lie

And say it's cool

I will live a lie

And say it's true

I will live a lie

And say it's true
