I look at that photograph of you shying away from the camera
The one that I love
And the one that you hate, and it occurs to me that
A part of me
A part of you
May go
There's space in our words
We stare at our hands
There are words in silence that only the subconscious understands
And you want it too
You feel it too
I know
I call up to see you
Just when I need you
Want you to take me away
You're someone I plead to
Just let me keep you
Hold you and beg you to say
Would you say
Chorus
Lie to me, would you lie to me
Would you tell me we're doing ok
Lie to me, could you lie to me
'Cause the truth is I'm struggling today
Today
We joke around and say "It seems like it's been ages"
But we're not a fresh sheet
We're scribbled on pages
And you cannot say
And I cannot say what we know
So we hang up and walk away
And think about what we wish we could say
But denial has a way of hiding words sometimes
So we think of what we had
And what we've got right now
So I call up to see you
Just when I need you
Want you to take me away
You're someone I plead to
Just let me keep you
Hold you and beg you to say
Chorus
Lie to me, would you lie to me
Would you tell me we're doing ok
Lie to me, could you lie to me
'Cause the truth is I'm struggling today
And every time you try to hold me
Like every time you say you've told me
And every time I've had to push you away
It's not because I haven't felt you
It's just because I failed to tell you
All the things I wish that I could just say
