my friends all ask how I'm doing
since you took your sweet love away
and I know that they're just showing they care
but what did they expect me to say?

so I lie, I tell them I'm alright
I lie, I tell them fine
I don't think they really wanna know the truth
whats the use, what can they do
so I look them straight in the eye, and I lie

they offer a shoulder to cry on
anytime I just have to call
but little do they know, the river that would flow
if I let the first tear drops fall

so I lie, I tell them I'm alright
I lie, I tell them fine
I don't think they really wanna know the truth
whats the use, what can they do
so I look them straight in the eye, and I lie

I often wonder what I'd do
if I were to run into you
would my heart fall at your feet?
would my foolish pride get the best of me?
well honestly I believe..

that I'd lie and tell you I'm alright,
I'd lie, I'd tell you I'm fine,
I can never ever let you know the truth
that I'm still in love, and so confused
so I'd hide my pain deep inside
and I'd look you straight in the eye.. and I'd lie
