Lyrics

MAYBE NEXT TIME I CAN SAY GOODBYE
(ONE MORE LIE)


THE MOMENT OF TRUTH CAME AND WENT
I JUST STOOD THERE PARALYZED
NO I COULDN'T DO IT
WHEN I LOOKED INTO YOUR EYES
I LOOKED AT YOU AND I JUST KNEW
I COULDN'T SAY GOODBYE
IT WAS ALL I COULD DO
NOT TO BREAK DOWN AND CRY
I TRIED TO TELL YOU
BUT THE WORDS WOULDN'T COME
CAUGHT BETWEEN MY HEART
AND THE TIP OF MY TONGUE

SO I LIED TO YOU BABY
'CUZ I'M JUST NOT THAT STRONG
I WAS TRYIN' TO BUY
A LITTLE MORE TIME
ONE MORE LIE
AND MAYBE NEXT TIME I CAN SAY GOODBYE

LYIN' HERE NOW
WATCHIN' YOU SLEEP
AND I'M WRESTLIN' WITH MY FEAR
I THOUGHT I COULD DO IT
BUT MY COURAGE JUST DISAPPEARED
YOU TURN TO ME
SO TENDERLY
AND I CRY OUT IN THE DARK
THEN YOU FINALLY AWAKE
TO THE SOUND OF MY BREAKIN' HEART
I TRIED TO TELL YOU
BUT THE WORDS WOULDN'T COME
CAUGHT BETWEEN MY HEART
AND THE TIP OF MY TONGUE

CHORUS (REPEAT)

I KNOW THE TRUTH
IT CAN'T BE DENIED
BUT IT'S SO HARD TO SAY IT
GOD KNOWS I'VE TRIED

SO I LIED TO YOU BABY
THOUGH I KNOW THAT IT'S WRONG
I'M JUST TRYIN' TO BUY
A LITTLE MORE TIME
ONE MORE LIE
AND MAYBE NEXT TIME I CAN SAY GOODBYE
ONE MORE LIE
AND MAYBE NEXT TIME I CAN SAY GOODBYE
