You always come home late, but I know where youve been
Hard to deny it when you smell so much like sin
The lies I realize when I check your pager
And now I know the price of angels in cages

I see it in your face
Stop trying to explain
Just so much I can take of your truth crashing down

Why don't you lie to me?
Why don't you just lie to me?
Why don't you lie to me?
So I can think that you are worth it

Don't seem so shocked to see I figured it out
Its just that often, your motive calls the house
I can still smell him, the smell of his liquor
Cant tell you're sorry, I know you think you're sorry

You keep on talking, but I don't want to hear it
What do you tell him, do you tell him you feel it?
This time I mean it, I really, really mean it
I want you to lie to me I need you to lie to me

Why cant, Why cant, Why cant,
Why can't you lie to me
