All You Have to do Is Lie
Love's Deception: All You Have to Do Is Lie
Lyrics
I got just the memory that I'm needing to recall
I have a specific memory that I want to remember.
The first time that I saw you underneath the parasol
Recalling the first time I saw you under an umbrella.
Man what a perfect day
It was an incredibly perfect day.
Feels like it was yesterday
It feels like that perfect day happened recently.
Now I know that love is just one fight from getting lost
Love is fragile and can be lost easily in a fight or argument.
But babe I thought that line was something we would never cross
Previously, I thought we wouldn't cross certain boundaries in our relationship.
Coming around the bend
Approaching a turning point or decision in the relationship.
You said you didn't need a friend
You claimed you didn't need companionship.
That you wanted more
You desired something more than friendship.
All you have to do is lie
Implying that lying could be an easy solution.
If you're feeling like leaving
If you're considering leaving.
Me and all our dreams behind
The possibility of leaving our shared dreams behind.
Cause I couldn't believe in
Because I couldn't believe in anything other than us.
Anything but you and I
Believing only in our relationship.
All you have to do is lie
Reiterating that lying might be the solution.
If you think that love is just the loving that you make
If you perceive love as merely the act of making love.
Ain't no man who's gonna stay that love will always fade
No man will commit forever, implying love fades.
Breaking me down again
Your actions are emotionally breaking me again.
You said that this would never end
You once said our relationship would be everlasting.
But maybe if you left me I could find a man to be
Maybe if you left, I could find someone else.
And maybe he'd be better than the one you want to leave
Perhaps that person might be better than the one you want to leave for.
I'll never want to know
I don't want to know what life would be without you.
I like the man you're letting go, please
I prefer the man you are currently leaving behind.
Ooo baby please
Expressing a plea for reconsideration and reconciliation.
I don't need to tell you all the good that we've been through
I don't need to recount our positive experiences together.
I can tell your mind's made up and you know what you will do
You seem determined about your decision.
I will start to give it up
I might begin to give up on us.
Start missing you
I'll start missing you if this separation happens.
But not tonight
However, tonight is not the night for that.
