Lie AloneLyrics and Music by Christie Wilcox
From the moment I met you there was never any doubt Your smile hit me like a bullet and I’m still bleeding out It was my crime of passion though I showed up unarmed You see, I aided and abetted you, baby I am guilty as charged And I was never honest No matter what I say I bit my tongue like I bite it now as I watch you walk away But I won’t fight you on it That’s a battle I cannot win And I won’t press upon The mistake I know you’re making Now you hope time will hand down some truth from her ivory throne But she lies just like I lie, and we’ll all lie alone I know you’d be good for me ’cause you make me smile I think if I could just be with you this would all be worthwhile And you make me laugh and we have great sex and all these reasons we’re good together they just keep pounding in my head ‘Cause the only thing that matters is why you’re wrong for me No matter how good we are together you will never let us be But I know better now, baby and we are through My heart will no longer harbor feelings that make me want to be with you And you, you think some other girl will be more real for you but she’ll lie just I lie and we’ll all lie alone You see, it’s not the lies we tell each other, but the ones we tell ourselves It’s not the truths we try to hide, but the ones we try to sell I betray my own body every time I look at you I keep lying to myself hoping that you’re lying too But I can’t fight you on it That’s a battle I cannot win And I won’t press upon The mistake I know you’re making No I know better, baby I know my place so I’ll lie, oh yes I’ll lie, honey I’m gonna lie straight to your face I’ll lie every time they ask me what is wrong I’ll lie every time he wonders if I’ve really moved on I’ll lie through my teeth and with the marrow in my bones but don’t you lie like I lie or you’ll always lie alone From the moment I met you There was never any doubt Your smile hit me like a bullet And I’m still bleeding out |
