Lie Here Tonight

lyrics

Sitting in the dark for what seems like hours
staring at the empty side of the bed
surrounded by four walls I thought were hours
turns out they're just mine instead
My friends think I'm crazy, but honestly I believed every word you told me
I tell you what's crazy, all I want right now is you to come and hold me

Won't you come back and lie here tonight?
I won't show you the tears I've been crying.
I won't ask questions so you won't have to deny a thing
you can leave on your ring.
No you don't sleep alone, darling I know you're gonna lie somewhere.
So why don't you lie here tonight.

Tearing through my memories trying to find
any clue I might have missed.
I keep returning to that night in our drive
when you told me what the truth is
I thought you were crazy - how could you have made me some dirty little secret
I'll tell you what's crazy - if you gave me a chance I would forgive and forget.

CHORUS

Lie to my face I can take it
lie to my heart, you can't break it
it's in pieces now, kinda like dust.
kinda like us.

CHORUS
