If you knew
What was really true
I don't think that you would stay
If you knew
The whole truth
I think you would walk away
So I'll lie
I'll lie
If you knew
What was really true
Maybe you would be quite nice
But I can't, take the risk
Can't do that again
Don't wanna make the same mistake twice
So I'll lie
I'll lie
Like I've done most of my life
I'll lie for one more day
And I know you'll be annoyed that I have not told you the truth
But I've made a few mistakes back in my youth
And I don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna go through that again
Cause I know that
If you knew you'd make some excuse up
Just to be friends
So I'll lie
I apologise
I'll lie
I'll lie
Like I've done all of my life
I'll lie for one more day
I'll lie for one more day
Cause if you knew
What was really true
I don't think that you would stay
