Lie a little before you break my heart

I know what's going through your mind
You plan to leave our 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

(If you could) lie a little and tell me you still care
Try a little to ease the pain I bear
Say you love me once more before we part
Lie a little before you break my heart

And now that I am losing you
What harm can make-believing do
If for a little longer I pretend
If you have ever cared at all
Give me the chance to break the fall
Lie a little, say it's not the end

(If you could) lie a little and tell me you still care
Try a little to ease the pain I bear
Say you love me once more before we part
Lie a little before you break my heart
