Lyrics
Don't Make Me Lie To You
Words and Music: Sarah Harris, Gary Clute
(Verse One)
I wish I could tell you
That it would affect me
If you walk away now
If you choose to leave me
I wish I could say that
If I lose you I would break
But I'm already broken
From pain that still remains
(Chorus)
I could say the words
You want to hear
But they wouldn't be honest
They'd be insincere
I could say the words
Recite them just for you
But I wouldn't mean them
So, don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me
Woah, don't make me lie to you
(Verse Two)
I know that is not what
You want to hear from me
But I'll never be able
To give you what you need
I don't want to hurt you
With words that I can't say
My heart that once loved is
No longer built that way
Heart's no longer built that way
(Chorus)
I could say the words
That you want to hear
But they wouldn't be honest
They'd be insincere
I could say the words
Recite them just for you
But I wouldn't mean them
So, don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me
Woah, don't make me lie to you
(Bridge)
Sometimes words left unsaid
Are better than lies
Those words get thrown around
All the damn time
They only lose meaning
Leaving hearts broken
I'd rather be honest
With words left unspoken
(Chorus)
I could say the words
That you want to hear
But they wouldn't be honest
They'd be insincere
I could say the words
Recite them just for you
But I wouldn't mean them
So, don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me
Woah, don't make me lie to you
(Outro)
Don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me lie to you
