I Would Stop Lying
I could say I was not attracted to you
I could deny holding my breath for you
I smiled all the time, surely not because of you
But if you just asked, I would stop lying.
I could say it was just a fling
That would go away after I bling
I could swear it didn’t mean anything
But if you just asked, I would stop lying.
I could say I had it under control
I could drive it off whenever it showed
Nothing was stirring deep in my soul
But if you just asked, I would stop lying.
I could tell the voices to stop singing
I could chase away thoughts when they were lingering
I could abandon all hopes and feelings
But if you just asked, I would stop lying.
I could avoid talking to you all day
I could turn away when I met your gaze
I could deny this was what I prayed
But if you just asked, I would stop lying.
