lyrics

"I HAVE TO LIE" by David Guilbault

The teardrops well - behind my eyes.
You can’t tell – what is wrong.
The heartaches swell. Take away my breath.
The cuts are deep. The hurt is strong.

I have to lie to get through,
All these lonely nights
That I spend with you.
I have to lie to get through.

I am so tired – of who we are.
We are scarred - In silent pain.
It’s been hard – hanging on this long.
Hiding wounds of doubt and shame.

I have to lie to get through,
All these punishing nights
That I spend with you.
I have to lie to get through.

We need to let go – this unholy vow.
Why don’t you know this - to be true?
Lies take their toll. There’s no more now
That can make this right for me and you.

I have to lie to get through,
All these cunning nights
That I spend with you.
I have to lie to get through.

I have to lie to get through,
All these lonely nights
That I spend with you.
I have to lie to get through.
