Just To Lie

(album: Five Interstates - 2008)

You and I both appear
We already made the deal
By the time I change my mind
Couldn't make the sense to find
The reason that I left you running
Keeping from the things I'm saying
Saying just to get you naked
I just want you to trust me

I told you that I love you
Just so that I could lie beside you
I knew you'd understand I'm leaving
That it's been this way before

Trying hard to make it work
To own the things that measure what
I'm reaching for is really worth
And to keep from losing faith
I've been lost in sleeping pills
Worry that i'm overdriven
Moments I'm alone and thinking
Wishing that there was someone

I told you that I love you
Just so that I could lie beside you
Knew you'd understand I'm leaving
That it's been this way before

In the same room finally searching
Looking for another reason
You and I should be together
Don't act like you can't surrender
This is not a love affair
Neither one of us should start to think that
I'm settling for you
It's just like the first time

I told you that I love you
Just so that I could lie beside you
Knew you'd understand I'm leaving
That it's been this way before

Till you beat me to the door
At least it seemed the things that I control
Turned out the way I planned em'
Nothing's different here about you
Telling me that since the last time
Somehow you fooled yourself to
Thinking that I'm falling for you
Never meant a word when

I told you that I love you
Just so that I could lie beside you
Knew you'd understand I'm leaving
That it's been this way before
