Lyrics
V1
Can I take this seat beside you?
May I stare into your lovely eyes?
Will you tell me what is going on inside?
Cause I think I know what's going on, going wrong
You believe that you're not good enough
Insist you've missed your last chance
But I know you're tellin' lies
I know you're tellin' lies (4x)
V2
May I walk along side of you?
May I hold your hand in mine?
You don't have to speak a word to me tonight
Cause I think I know what's going on, going wrong
You withdraw from my loving touch
Insist you don't deserve it
But I know you're tellin' lies
I know you're tellin' lies (4x)
Bridge
Where do you run to, Why do you run ?
Where did you learn to hide from the sun ?
When will they cease, these untruths you believe?
V3
May I ask a favor of you?
As I turn from the mirror's glare
Will you say the words, "I love you," "I care"?
Can you say them without feeling false?
Do you dare?
You answer with a rush of tears
You'd like to say that it's just no use
But you know you're tellin' lies
I know you're tellin' lies (4x)
