Living a Lie Lyrics

I think I've dreamed this before

It all came back when the sunlight hit the bedroom floor

You're so far away, when you're standing right in front of me

Oh tell me, just tell me, how long you've been gone

If I drown in memory, would you still do this to me

Have I been living a lie, are you not willing to try

Is this really happening, 'cause I just want you to stay

With every day that goes by, I'm just a doubt in your mind

Be that as it may, but I still need you to

Stay

This world's a strange place

It moves at your pace

The things I said just to save face

But I used up my bag of tricks

They all fell flat, you're over it

I said it, resentment

I hate that I meant it

If I drown in memory, would you still do this to me

Have I been living a lie, are you not willing to try

Is this really happening, 'cause I just want you to stay

With every day that goes by, I'm just a doubt in your mind

Be that as it may, but I still need you to

Stay

If I could take back the past few years

Then I could pretend that you were never here

If I drown in memory, would you still do this to me

Have I been living a lie, are you not willing to try

Is this really happening, 'cause I just want you to

Stay

Be that as it may, but I still need you to
