I Lied
Landings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What would you do if you knew how I was feelin′
I wonder what you'd have to say
Afraid of the answers I′m not takin' any chances
I don't want to scare you away

Oh, so I lie
(I lie)
Oh, yes I lie
(I lie)
Ooh, I don′t wanna let you go
I don′t wanna let you know so I lie

Here in my heart I can hold on to this secret
I'm hopin′ that you won't see through
I don′t like denyin' all the love that I′ve been hidin'
I don't want to tell you the truth

Oh, so I lie
(I lie)
Oh, yes I lie
(I lie)
Ooh, I don′t wanna let you know
I don′t wanna let you go so I lie

It's not easy to deceive you
It′s so hard to keep from saying I love you

Oh, so I lie
(I lie)
Oh, yes I lie
(I lie)
Ooh, I don't wanna let you know
I don′t wanna let you go so I lie
(I lie)





Oh, yes I lie
