If You Have to Lie (unreleased) versuri

If You Have to Lie (unreleased) lyrics by Thomas Deakin

Verse 1
We don’t talk like we used to
You don’t love like you used to
Is that on me? Is that on you?
Was the space what you needed?
Or was it what you wanted?
Oh

Chorus
If you have to lie
After all this time
Leaving me to cry
Darling, your love was a crime
Oh, if you have to lie
After all this time
Just to sleep at night
Oh, if you have to lie

Verse 2
You were always there but not really
I was reachin’ out, you were busy
You’d say, „I’m just tired”
But I know you were lying
I knew you were lying

Chorus
If you have to lie
Aftеr all this time
Just to feel alright
Tell me, was it lovе
Or just killing time?
Oh, if you have to lie
After all this time
Then maybe the truth
Was never mine

Verse 3
Now I don’t check my phone like I used to
Stopped waitin’ for a truth that won’t come through
You say, „I hope you’re doin’ fine”
But that’s just a lie
If you cared at all, you wouldn’t have to lie

Bridge
And maybe you never meant to hurt me
But you did it perfectly
You called it love, but it was killin’ us
And I held on like that was enough
But loving you was losing me
And I’m done bleeding quietly

Chorus
If you have to lie
Just to ease your mind
Then maybe we were never right
You said forever
But you meant goodbye
So I won’t keep holding
What was never mine
Oh, if you have to lie
