Lyrics
I COULD LIE S.Bennett/L.Flowers
Here we are - closer than close
Our two bodies clothed by the light of the moon
And we try to pretend we?re still OK
But when you look at me that way
I know it?s not true
Oh babe, I don?t know what to do
Chorus:
I could lie beside you
A million more nights
Though it wouldn?t be wrong
It wouldn?t be right
Cause deep down my heart knows it?s time for goodbye
Though I wish I could
I wish I could lie
All my dreams were wrapped up in us
And I thought our love was all that I need
So I cry for all that we have lost
And die again because
The wounds cut so deep
Oh baby you?re still part of me
CHORUS REPEAT
Bridge:
I can?t give you reasons
I can?t tell you why
But I can?t fool myself
So I wish I could lie
CHORUS REPEAT :
I wish I could lie
