Lie

How can you lie to her, to me?
And how does your heart have room for three?
I’ve so many questions
But you sit there like stone
Does she think you’re here alone?
Breathing and breaking, but who do I tell?
Surrounded by strangers who know me so well
Love, I need answers
Whatever the answer
Please, Don’t leave me alone
I can lie to anyone
These days it’s all I do
But you’re the one I don’t lie to
How’s it so easy
How do I still lie with you?
How can I lie to you, to her?
Are you the man you thought you were?
You’re asking the questions
I ask myself, too
No, I’ve got no answers for you
I can lie to anyone
These days it’s all I do
But you’re the one I don’t lie to
How’s it so easy
How do I still lie with you?
how do I still lie with you?
Please answer me
What do I say
Please answer me
What do I do now, tell me
Please answer me now
Please
How can I lie to her, with you?
Who’s the one I’m lying to?
How Is it wrong if no one knows
But you know
And You know
I can lie to anyone
These days it’s all I do
But you’re the one I don’t lie to (I don’t wanna lie to you, but)
How’s it so easy
How do I still lie with you?

Split the tab, walk outside
It’s raining all around
I wanna feel it, but I don’t
Hail a cab, pick your way
Through puddles on the ground
I wanna feel it, but I don’t
As the door closes, you look back to ask
If this could lead to something, but it won’t
I wanna feel it, but I don’t
People say that New York City
Breathes and lives and dies
I wanna feel it, but I don’t
And everyday it comes to life
In 16 million eyes
I wanna feel it, but I don’t
Living here means giving up the stars that used to guide us
Like the neon lights at the Barclay’s Center won’t
I wanna feel it, but I don’t
Come and stay awhile
She perks up when you come by
I wanna feel it, but I don’t
Won’t be too much longer
‘Til it’s time to say goodbye
I wanna feel it, but I don’t
We said goodbye a long time ago
Either she’ll remember or she won’t
I wanna feel it, but I don’t
As the door closes,
It’s hard not to ask
Is time supposed to get these clouds to clear
How long will I still be standing here
Waiting for the answers to appear
When I know they won’t
I wanna feel it, but I don’t
I wanna feel it, but I don’t

I can’t waste more time
On trying to meet you halfway down the line
You’re not frozen, you’re on fire
Can you see me through the smoke around your eyes?
Easy answers are lies
You gotta talk to me
A hundred telephone wires
A hundred thousand miles your words could fill
Each listening and still
You gotta talk to me
I can’t rely on you
No matter how much I want to
No matter how much you say you want to change
I can’t waste more time
On trying to meet you halfway down the line
When I need you here with me
Tell them I walked away
You can tell them that I left you high and dry
And never say why
You wouldn't fight with me
Don’t you put this on me
I’m not going to change, but I’m fighting through
And if you wanted this too
Then you would fight with me
I can’t rely on you
No matter how much I want to
No matter how much you say you want to change
I can’t waste more time
On trying to meet you halfway down the line
When I need you here with me
You’re not frozen, you’re on fire
(I always thought I’d have the patience to stay here)
Can you see me through the smoke around your eyes?
(I never knew you’d waste my time)
Easy answers are lies, you gotta talk to me
(I used to trust my expectations, but now I know…)
I can’t rely on you
No matter how much I want to
No matter how much you say you want to change
I can’t waste more time
On trying to meet you halfway down the line
When I need you here with me

Constant Strangers New York, New York
Mary Bolt and Chris Peters are New York-based singer-songwriters. They built Constant Strangers out of a connection, sometimes close, sometimes distant, sometimes tumultuous, sometimes easy, always honest and surprising. It makes sense, then, that the songs they write speak as much to the resilience of intimacy as to the poison of loneliness. ... more
