Maybe I Should Lie
from Not Afraid of NothingI could try to comfort you, but it won't help. It'll be the way you want it to; I'll be by myself, trying to stay positive: read books, eat cheese, get right. But I can't get right when I'm lonely every night, wondering if it's time to go. "Well, you know when you know." And anytime I tell you that, "I miss you so," honey, you just cry...maybe I should lie. Maybe I should lie. Maybe I should lie just to get by. Outside, the streets are filling up; they're on parade. I am stupid, still in love...I let the night fade...tangled in my sheets again: head full, laid back, take time. But I can't take time when love is on the line, and you're miles and miles away, and all the monsters are here to stay. And anytime I tell you that, "I miss you so," honey, you just cry...maybe I should lie. Maybe I should lie. Maybe I should lie just to get by. Somewhere, there's a light that shines. I can't exactly see it, but I know it's mine. I'm yours to keep until they come to take me away, and even then I'll stay. Even then I'll stay.
