“Lie To You”

“Lie To You”
Copyright by Frank A. DeCenso, Jr.

[Vs1]
That night the rain came down,
It didn’t dry;
You left for a girl downtown,
I don’t know why…
We knew each other inside out –
Wasn't that what love's about?

[PRE-CHORUS]
Now I see you’re on your own;
I wonder how you feel alone…

CHORUS
I can’t lie to you,
I won’t lie to you…
I don’t care that you’re lost somewhere,
I never do…
I can’t lie to you.

[Vs2]
That night we fell apart,
I wouldn’t cry;
Even though you cracked my heart,
I didn’t die…
Boy, even if you turned around –
I'd be gone 'cause I have found –

[PRE-CHORUS]
I am more than a paper doll;
I had the strength to break the fall…

CHORUS
I can’t lie to you,
I won’t lie to you…
I don’t care that you’re lost somewhere,
I never do…
I can’t lie to you.

[BRIDGE]
Someday I'll forget and start brand new –
But someday won’t be bringing you…
I won’t allow it to –

CHORUS
‘Cause I can’t lie to you,
I won’t lie to you…
I don’t care that you’re lost somewhere,
I never do…
I can’t lie to you.
{REPEAT and FADE}
