If You Have To Lie

Sunset through the canyon

Gunning for the beach

You asked to take the long way

Blood rushed to my cheeks

Bottled wine and blankets

Words come easily

How long 'til the rug's pulled

Out from under me?

Stop saying that you’re always gonna be here

'Cause you’re not

Only takes a minute for the other shoe to drop

I wanna believe it when you say I'm all you want

All you want

So if you have to lie

Then lie with me every night

Stay here for the rest of our lives

And if you have to cheat

Then tell me that you'll cheat death

So we never run out of time

And if you have to steal

Then baby, could you steal my sorrow?

Could God give us more years to borrow?

I see forever in your eyes

Hope we never say goodbye

But if you have to, lie

What is it about you that makes me second guess?

All the things I’ve been through, all of my regrets

So if you make a promise that I'm all that that you need

Hope you don’t forget, 'cause I'll hold my breath

'Til you break it and you leave

So if you have to lie

Then lie with me every night

Stay here for the rest of our lives

And if you have to cheat

Then tell me that you'll cheat death

So we never run out of time

And if you have to steal

Then baby, could you steal my sorrow?

Could God give us more years to borrow?

I see forever in your eyes

Hope we never say goodbye

But if you have to, lie

(Lie)

If you have to lie

(Lie)

(Lie, lie)

Stop saying that you’re always gonna be here (Lie)

'Cause you're not (Lie, lie)

Only takes a minute for the other shoe to drop (Lie)

I wanna believe it when you say I’m all you want

All you want

So if you have to lie, then lie with me every night

Stay here for the rest of our lives

And if you have to cheat, then tell me that you'll cheat death

So we never run out of time

And if you have to steal

Then baby, could you steal my sorrow? (Lie)

Could God give us more years to borrow?

I see forever in your eyes (Lie)

Hope we never say goodbye

But if you have to, lie

(Lie)

(Lie, lie)

If you have to, lie
