I know what's going through your mind you planned to leave my love behind

You're wondering how to break the news to me

I hate to see you worry so I love you but I'll let you go

First you'll have to help me set you free

Lie a little and tell me you still care lie a little and ease the pain I bear

Say you love me once more before we part lie a little before you break my heart

[ steel ]

And now that I'm losing you what harm will make believe in you

Before a little longer I pretend

If you have ever cared at all give me a chance to break the fall

Lie a little say it's not the end

Lie a little and tell me you still care...
