(Liz Anderson)

Lie a little before you break my heart
I know what's going through your mind
You planned 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 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.

--- Instrumental ---

And now that I am losing you what harm can maybe even do
Before a little longer I pretend
If you had 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...
