Live A Lie

(album: Fearless - 2008)

[Talking:]
How u gon do that to me... ? (siiigh)
I can't believe this...

[Verse 1:]
I wish I never ever got drunk that nite
Made me foolish enough to come to your crib
Walked up the stairs and then I turned on the lights
Couldn't even speak because it happened so quick
I wish I never saw your punk ass that nite
You always seem to calm me down with your lies
Even though I know better I try and I try
But u always have the perfect alibi

[Chorus:]
If a lie gon get me thru
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon make me cry
I rather just live a lie [x2]

[Verse 2:]
I wish I never ever saw u that nite
Rite now I'd still be thinkin we were ok
I called u just before I got on my flight
I say 'I love u', And u tell me the same
If I could go back in time
I never woulda called your phone up
Never woulda dialed your number
Never woulda gotten that drunk
If I could go back in time
I never woulda gotten that tore
Never woulda asked for one more
Never woulda walked thru your door

[Chorus:]
If a lie gon get me thru
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon make me cry
I rather just live a lie [x2]

[Verse 3:]
Easier to live
Like u don't see nuttin
Even tho it ain't rite
Harder to turn over in your bed and he ain't by your side
I think if I didn't walk in that nite
And see u with my own eyes
I would still be livin a lie

[Talking:]
Just gotta know
Whatever u do
It's gon come back to u
I can't' believe this...

[Chorus:]
If a lie gon get me thru
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon make me cry
I rather just live a lie
