Would you believe me
If I said I’ve never lied
Though it ain’t easy
I can tell you I have tried
But I’ve gotta say
That it comes those days
That I’ve told something untrue
Would you’ll forgive me
If I said I’ve lied to you
This is my fear
To tell you what I’ve done
As things become clear
I’m afraid that you’ll be gone
But all I know
Is if you go
At least I’ve told what’s true
Hope you’ll forgive me
When I say I’ve lied to you
I’m burning up
I’m burning for you
When the truth has been spoken
There’s nothing to do
How will you kill me
For what I’m about to tell
Please do it gently
Because you know I’m bound for hell
All I know is I’ve lost my soul
I’m burning inside
Hope you’ll forgive me
Yes, I have lied
I’m burning up
I’m burning for you
When the truth has been spoken
There’s nothing to do
Now you know that I’ve gone and I’ve been untrue to you
And once it’s told, well you know there’s nothing we can do
I regret that I let this get so out of hand
I pray, you stay, that you’ll understand
