You Lie
Reba McEntire Lyrics

We lie in the dark I know you're awake
I am aware that you are lying beside me while pretending to sleep in the dark.

The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
We are the only ones awake in this old creaky house and the only sounds we can hear are those that the house is making.

But, oh how I long, I long to hear your voice
I am yearning to hear you speak and break the silence between us.

Desperate to talk, yearning to touch
I am desperate to have a conversation with you and to feel your touch.

Burning inside 'cause I want you so much
My desire for you is so strong that it makes me feel like I am burning inside.

So I say I need you and leave you no choice
I tell you that I need you and leave you with no other option but to respond.

You lie you don't want to hurt me
You tell a lie to avoid hurting my feelings.

So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
You lie to gain some more time and I am forced to comply and go along with it.

What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
I am at a loss on what else I can do and I am unsure whether going along with your lies is the right thing to do.

But you know how much I love you
You are fully aware of how much I love you and will do anything for you.

So you lie, 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You continue to lie until you can come up with a way to finally say goodbye.

How long until you just can't go on
I wonder how long you can continue with this and if there will come a point where you can no longer go on with our relationship.

And the urge to break loose is just too strong
The urge to end things and break free from this relationship is getting stronger by the day.

You should let go that's what you want to do
You know deep down that you want to end things and it's time to let go and move on.

Oh but you don't know, you don't know
You are unsure and confused, not knowing what to do.

If it's the right thing to do
You are questioning if ending our relationship is the right thing to do.
