| I can’t get around it, so I,
|
| Dig underneath it, and my
|
| Lips started twitching as I lie
|
| How could I do that
|
| Wish I could take it back
|
| Do I trust, say goodbye
|
| Now between you and I, there’s a lie
|
| Have you ever been — ah ha
|
| In this predicament — ah ha
|
| When you know you’re doing wrong (wrong)
|
| Instead of facing it
|
| You try to bury it
|
| It breaks the ground you’re standing on
|
| Chorus
|
| Baby I’m sorry, you should just leave me,
|
| Just leave me alone
|
| For the arms of love only carry a lie for so long
|
| Although you haven’t caught it — I just
|
| Have to admit it — I must
|
| Look into a mirror everyday
|
| I have to answer too,
|
| You saying, I love you,
|
| If I lose you this time
|
| At least I’m free from the lie
|
| Have you ever been — ah ha
|
| In this predicament — ah ha
|
| When you know you’re doing wrong (wrong)
|
| Instead of facing it — a ha
|
| You try to bury it
|
| It breaks the ground you’re standing on
|
| Chorus x 6 (+ Ad Libs)
|
| For so long, for so long, for so long, oh yeah
|
| For the arms of love only carry a lie for so long |
