Just to Lie - Greensky Bluegrass

You and I both appear

We already made the deal

By the time I change my mind

Couldn’t make the sense to find

The reason that I left you running

Keeping from the things I’m saying

Saying just to get you naked

I just want you to trust me

I told you that I love you

Just so that I could lie beside you

I knew you’d understand I’m leaving

That it’s been this way before

Trying hard to make it work

To own the things that measure what

I’m reaching for is really worth

And to keep from losing faith

I’ve been lost in sleeping pills

Worry that i’m overdriven

Moments I’m alone and thinking

Wishing that there was someone

I told you that I love you

Just so that I could lie beside you

Knew you’d understand I’m leaving

That it’s been this way before

In the same room finally searching

Looking for another reason

You and I should be together

Don’t act like you can’t surrender

This is not a love affair

Neither one of us should start to think that

I’m settling for you

It’s just like the first time…

I told you that I love you

Just so that I could lie beside you

Knew you’d understand I’m leaving

That it’s been this way before

Till you beat me to the door

At least it seemed the things that I control

Turned out the way I planned em'

Nothing’s different here about you

Telling me that since the last time

Somehow you fooled yourself to

Thinking that I’m falling for you

Never meant a word when.

I told you that I love you

Just so that I could lie beside you

Knew you’d understand I’m leaving

That it’s been this way before
