Lyrics
Why Should I Lie
Well I’m a man, spent my life running ‘round.
While they all talked, told me to settle down.
Thought it was funny and so sad.
And though I tried, to hold on to precious time,
no one could change my mind, that is, till I met you.
Chorus- And now I have to spend my days
without your love and you by my side.
Now I know that I should say
“I just can’t love you” but why should I lie.
Why should I lie?
I played the part, I thought I’d always win.
Running from love, I wouldn’t let you in.
Thought it was funny, it was sad.
And though I tried, to hold on to precious time,
nothing could ease my mind, that is, till I held you.
Chorus
No use saving me, just need to pray for me,
when I’m lonely and sad.
Look what you’ve done to me, you’re the one for me,
the best that I never had.
The best I never had.
So here I stand, a man against the world.
Knowing I’ve lost, lost my forever girl.
Isn’t it funny, and so sad.
And now I try, to hold on to precious time.
Nothing can change my mind, that is, till I have you.
Chorus
