LYRICS

You whisper that you were getting tired
Got a look in your eye, looks a lot like goodbye
Hold on to your secrets tonight
Don't want to know, I'm okay with this silence
It's truth that I don't want to end

You're hiding regret in your smile
There's a storm in your eyes I've seen coming for a while
Hang onto the past tense tonight
Don't say a word, I'm okay with the quiet
The truth is gonna change everything

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be all right
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

I know that there's no turning back
If we put too much light on this we'll see through all the cracks
Let's stay in the dark one more night
Don't want to know, I'm okay with the silence
It's truth that I don't want to end

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be all right
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
So look me in the eye, lie, lie, lie

Don't want to believe in this ending
Let the cameras roll on, keep pretending
Tomorrow's all wrong if you walk away, just stay

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be all right
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
So look me in the eye, lie, lie, lie

So lie to me and tell me that we're gonna be okay
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the day
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
So look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie

Lie

The old timer back again. I love every song on the album but this one I think is my favorite.

I love Lie! I get mad at my mom when she says Lie's her song. I go crazy xD It's on my cell phone as an MP3 because sadly Verizon doesn't offer Lie as a ringtone Sad

Totally in love with his voice. And I love this song the most Smiling

Lie

This is one of my favoroite songs on the album. I understand the lyrics. and everytime David performs it, he sings it from his heart. Its a very powerful song =]

So lie to me and tell me that it’s going to be all right.
So lie to me and tell me we’re going to make it through the night.
I don’t mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye
Lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie

I love this song!!!! It's sounds like it is true when David sings too! It has gotten me though a bad realationship too!

Things I learned from Dane Cook:
1-Back in the day was a Wednesday.
2-Movies aren't called movies; they're cinematic adventures
and 3-When you die nothing happens

I really hope you release this as a single - it has hit written all over it. Your live delivery sells it even more. Just a beautiful song!

i think ur missing some lyrics here david lol well its not that important but i think it is lol its only a couple of words but i still think that it should be with the rest of the song. thats only my oppinion. i was listning to the song and realized it. it only the very end of the song but its not really a biggie but still important to put it up there Smiling
Chorus:
So Lie to me and tell me that it’s gonna be OK
So Lie to me and tell me that we’ll make it through the DAY
I don’t mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie

I really love this song. Sometimes I want people to lie to me. I don't always want to hear the truth, hear what else is wrong. It is really fantastic.

-David's biggest fan ever!!!

You whispered that you were getting tired
Got a look in your eye, looks a lot like goodbye
Hold on to your secrets tonight
Don’t want to know I’m ok with this silence
It’s truth that I don’t want to hear
You’re hiding regret in your smile
There’s a storm in your eyes
I’ve seen coming for a while
Hang on to the past tense tonight
Don’t say a word, I’m ok with the quiet
The truth is going to change everything

Chorus:
So Lie to me and tell me that it’s gonna be alright
So Lie to me and tell me that we’ll make it through the night
I don’t mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie

I know that there’s no turning back
If we put too much light on this we’ll see through all the cracks
Let’s stay in the dark one more night
Don’t want to know
I’m ok with the silence
It’s truth that I don’t want to hear

Don’t want to believe in this ending
Let the camera’s roll on
Keep pretending
Tomorrow’s all wrong if you walk away
Just stay

In this situation, it is okay to lie. "Lie" is a keeper. I still haven't fully understand the song, but when I listen to it a few more time, I think I'll understand.

This is by far my favorite track on the album. Everyone has gone through those times when you didn't want to face the inevitable. This song is so heart wrenching, and you can hear all the emotion seeping into David's voice as he sings it. I absolutly love it, it brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it.

<3 Jessi

Can you EVEN imagine wanting to tear his world apart???

Its such a beautiful, romantic song!!!

This song is unbelievably great/beautiful!! I can't stop listening to the lyrics and David's wonderful delivery. WOW!!!!!!! It just sends me over the moon it is soooooo good....

... my reaction every single time I hear the first bars of this song is automatically and invariably this: I close my eyes, smile and sigh...

This song is so beautiful! It is sad but so sexy at the same time.

Speaking for myself, this song is really one of the best from this album. Not only for it's touching lyrics that really melt through your bones, but how he sang it was really fantastic for from that very factor can you feel the intimate emotion and just right through it, you feel what the song wants to deliver to everybody.

Truly, the word 'lie' came to have a different and more appalling sense to me. Superb!

This is definately my favorite track on the album. Beautifully written and performed to perfection! It fits me, and I'm sure many others, so precise! The first time I heard Lie I fell in love! I listen to it over and over again. I sing it all the time, and my apologies for it sounding so horrid, but I can't get enough. The album as a whole is outstanding. Probably the best album I've ever heard. Great job Mr. Cook!

I heard the 30 second sample, and I knew, this was the song I wanted to hear. After a struggle with the plastic wrapping on your CD, I pressed play, and skipped right ahead to track 8. Instantly, I fell into the lyrics, found my own way of relating. I pressed pause before it went to the next track, and I thought: Wow. This is amazing.

And, for the first 24 hours, that was my favorite song on the album. It changes almost everyday at this point. Right now I'm in love with Breathe Tonight and My Last Request, but I'm sure that it'll be something different tomorrow morning.

Great Album. ;D

At first, when I listened to this song I didn't like it. I played the album over and over the first day I got it and suddenly, this song stuck. I played it over and really listened to the lyrics. It's a beautifully heartbreaking song, in the same way as "Permanent". David has a beautiful way of expressing emotion in his songs and his is the first album I've listened to where there are songs that make me cry. I am very impressed with the entire album. Originally being an Archuleta fan, I was shocked at how much I loved Cook's album. There is not a single song I don't like, which is a rare thing for anyone, I would imagine. I usually find two or three songs I really love and the rest is just fluff. I was NOT expecting to like this album as much as I did. You have won over a diehard Archuleta fan, dear David. If you read this, know that you have most certainly proven yourself.

Keep up the good work.

This song could not have come out at a better time. It spelled my life out. I love this song and can't get enough of it. Completely poetic. David Cook is like no other!!!

With this song, I can describe it in 3 words: Beautiful, yet Bittersweet

Lie is definitely the song that will get listeners goin' all emo. As in emotional. The moment you weep upon listening the song, it means that it has connected to you.

Hi David -

This is the best song!!! We absolutely love it. Keep up the great work....you are truly an AMAZING artist and we look forward to many more albums from you!!!!!

Your Friends in Bellerose, NY

Oh my! There is nothing left for me to say. I agree with everyone else. This song is truly a gem. While I love every song on the album, this one starts with a lilting, catchy melody then delivers a punch. It caught me off guard and I had to listen again and again. So much heart and pure emotion. As someone else said, we can all somehow relate to this song. David, this album was so worth the wait. I never get tired of listening to these songs. Each is a work of art. I am so proud of you and your phenomenal band. And, by-the-way, have a very Happy Birthday. It's been quite a year. May you have many more successful years ahead.

As soon as I heard this song on the 30 second preview I was hooked, as if I wasnt anticipating the album enough hearing those 30 seconds made me go nuts! I would wake up and hear it go to sleep and hear it, so when the record came out I listened to Lie immediately. I LOVE THIS SONG. I began to cry the minuet it was over, its almost like David went picking through my brain took my jumbled thoughts and voila Lie! I could listen to this song 100 times a day and never ever get sick of it, and the walmart soundcheck performance took my love for this song to a whole new level. I just want to thank you David for giving people something to hold on to and putting such universal feelings into a song that we can all take and connect with on our own level.

Thanks David! This is my favourite track on the album.
The album was only released in South Africa End November 2008. It was worth the wait!

Initially, I thought "Lie" was going to be an upbeat, tender lovesong that I could even envision a couple waltzing to in the dark, but then reality set in with the lyrics! A universal emotion...the inevitable breakup! The reality of an imperfect relationship. We can all relate, and that is why this song is so emotional. Lyrically and melodically, it is ingenius!
I still see the couple dancing in the dark, just this time with tears in their eyes. It's a perfect blend of bittersweet love. Another one of my favorites!

all I'm going to say... otherwise I would lie...

Lie

I imagine this could be the thoughts of a child that sees the inevitable in his parents.

Wow, so this is my absolute favourite! (then comes life on the moon, permanent, declaration and kiss on the neck). But the first time I heard this cd I cried so hard. That day this guy i was seeing broke things off, so when i heard this song it really hit home. It was EXACTLY how I was feeling at the time, and I can't get sick of this song. These are beautiful lyrics David, I love it so so so much. Thank you for writing such beautiful and touching pieces everyone can enjoy. I am so impressed with your album! It was what I was expecting and more EXCEPT, you could have put more pictures =]
I can't WAIT til you come to CANADA to preform!
I am your biggest fan, and really appreciate all your hard work!
Thanks David! Keep it up!
Love, Jazleen

I like Lies even better than Heros. It has me rung out, feeling very alive and ready for more...
