Can't Live This Lie
©2000 Jae Avery / Jeffrey Backus

I don't need an excuse to leave
Just need a reason to stay
More torn and blue than my ol' jeans
Struggling for something new to say
No matter how we try
We can’t make what's wrong all right
Since you don’t love me no more
The reason no longer rhymes

Chorus:
Anyway, I can't live this lie
The lie that you want me to live
Pretending nothing's wrong
When the love we had is gone
And I've got nothing more to give
I can’t live this lie
The lie that you want me to live

In the morning I’ll be gone
I’ll be leavin’ on the next flight
Too late for you to say you were wrong
But not too late to say goodbye

Chorus:

A convincing display that we’re doin’ ok
From the outside in
But from the inside out, my heart cries aloud
Let me go, I can’t stand the pain

Chorus:
