I know what's going through your mind you planned to leave my 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'll have to help me set you free
Lie a little and tell me you still care lie a little and ease the pain I bear
Say you love me once more before we part lie a little before you break my heart
[ steel ]
And now that I'm losing you what harm will make believe in you
Before a little longer I pretend
If you have ever cared at all give me a chance to break the fall
Lie a little say it's not the end
Lie a little and tell me you still care
