Story Behind The Song
I sat down during the day to watch some bad tv. So I went to one of the talk shows where they have couples come in adn do lie detector tests. The host asked one woman what she would do if her husband were cheating on here and she replied, "my world would crumble." I already had a music idea I had worked out on guitar and that was the starting point for teh lyrical direction of the song.

Lyrics
(verse)
Oh the sun begins to rise
As I wipe these tears from my eyes
Yeah the image is in my head
Of you lying around in his bed
(prechorus)
Why wont you tell me what you've done
No you can t tell me what you've done
What you've done
(verse)
No I cannot see in your eyes
As you put on your best disguise
All the little things that you do
Will betray you when you are through
(prechorus)
Why wont you tell me what you've done
No you can t tell me
(chorus)
My world would crumble
If you've been lying to me
My world would crumble
If you've been lying to me
(verse)
Now I sit and wonder why
I feel as if I've been cut down to size
Easily handled in your hands
You've been burning light at both ends
(prechorus)
Why wont you tell me what you've done
No you can t tell me
(chorus)
My world would crumble
If you've been lying to me
My world would crumble
If you've been lying to me
My world, world would crumble
If you've been lying to me
yeah, my world would crumble
If you've been lying to me
lying to me yeah
