Lyrics

HOW LONG I CAN LIE
verse:
I have a feeling I never had before/
You look better to me everyday and now I want much more/
When this feeling hit me/
Thought I knew what to do/
But now I am so distracted all because of you
CHORUS:
So I lie and I lie, ooo how I lie/
I'm too afraid to say I'm overwhelmed and more than a little high/
So I lie and I lie, ooo how I lie/
My secret is safe for now but I don't know/
I don't know how long I can lie
How long I can lie/
verse:
I've been wondering exactly what you know/
I can be such a timid creature/
Won't let my passion show/
I wanna be transparent so you could see right through/
I wouldn't have to say it with dignity/
You see I want you/
But I lie, and I lie, ooo how I lie/
I'm too afraid to say I'm overwhelmed and more than a little high/
So I lie and I lie, ooo how I lie/
My secret is safe for now but I don't know/
I don't know how long I can lie/
How long I can lie/
BRIDGE:
Somewhere in between the wrong and the right/
There I am frozen in the twilight/
Can you read between the lines/
See through all of my designs/
Where all my secrets are sewn/
I want to set them free/
But first show your heart to me/
Til then..
REPEAT CHORUS
