Emily, I need to ask you
'Cause you would know better than I
If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart
Would it be better to lie?

I've been keeping the peace with my silence
And I know he believes that I'll stay
But life won't stop dealing me
Cards full of feeling
And I just can't throw them away

I would pray to the lord for forgiveness
If I thought he could still hear my voice
But what I need more
Is a way out the door
From all of this falseness tonight

Emily, I need to ask you
'Cause you would know better than I
If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart
Would it be better to lie?

At this point in time I'm still walking
Walking alone by his side
But we're getting close
To the end of the rope
Where my needs and my conscience collide
