Lies
The Magic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why would you lie to me?
After all that we've been through
After the love I gave you
I just need you to trust me

How could I trust you?
How do I move on?
When all you do is tell your lies
Your killin' me inside
Why would I take you back?
So many sleepless nights
We had a good thing, but you threw it all away

They said you don't know what you got until it's all gone
I wish I never had to sit down and write this song
But, baby girl, if I could turn back the hands of time
If I could press rewind, live it one more time
I wouldn't do the things I did
I take back what I said
I never break a promise
If you take me back again
Everyone deserves a second chance, and this is it
So reach inside your heart and be compassionate, girl
Did you forget the way we use to love each other
The way you told me that you could never love another?
Damn, it's like I'm beggin' you to stay alive
I love you, girl, and I need you by my side

You could tell your lies
I don't really care what you feel inside
All you ever did was make me cry
Maybe one day you'll realize
That you had a good girl in your life

I don't really care what you feel inside
All you ever did was make me cry
Maybe one day you'll realize
That you had a good girl in your life

I know you really don't mean the things
You said right now
Baby, (c'mon, girl)
See, all I need is one more chance
To show you that I never gonna do you wrong again
Please, girl, c'mon

I still remember promises of making it together
Forgive and forget
We can still be forever
The key to my happiness
My life is in your hands
I'll do whatever just to kiss your lips again
Come close to me, girl
So you can feel what I'm sayin'
I'm serious, and I can't take it
No more playin'
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
I wanna spend every moment with you
Makin' it right, and
I know that maybe this can take a long time, and
I know that it's always in the back of your mind, but
I know that you deserve the stars in the sky
So if you give me one last chance
I'll never make your cry
You could tell your lies
I don't really care what you feel inside
All you ever did was make me cry




Maybe one day you'll realize
That you had a good girl in your life
