"If You Have To Lie" lyrics

Sunset through the canyon
Gunning for the beach
You asked to take the long way
Blood rushed to my cheeks
Bottled wine and blankets
Words come easily
How long til the rug's pulled
Out from under me?

Stop
Saying that you're always gonna be here
'Cause you're not
Only takes a minute
For the other shoe to drop
I wanna believe it
When you say I'm all you want
All you want

So if you have to lie
Then lie with me every night
Stay here for the rest of our lives
And if you have to cheat
Then tell me that you'll cheat death
So we never run out of time
And if you have to steal
Then baby could you steal my sorrow
Could God give us more years to borrow
I see forever in your eyes
Hope we never say goodbye
But if you have to, lie

What is it about you
That makes me second guess
All the things I've been through
All of my regrets
So if you make a promise
That I'm all you need
Hope you don't forget
'Cause I'll hold my breath
'Til you break it and you leave

So if you have to lie
Then lie with me every night
Stay here for the rest of our lives
And if you have to cheat
Then tell me that you'll cheat death
So we never run out of time
And if you have to steal
Then baby could you steal my sorrow
Could God give us more years to borrow
I see forever in your eyes
Hope we never say goodbye
But if you have to, lie

If you have to lie
If you have to

Stop
Saying that you're always gonna be here
'Cause you're not
Only takes a minute
For the other shoe to drop
I wanna believe it
When you say I'm all you want
All you want

So if you have to lie
Then lie with me every night
Stay here for the rest of our lives
And if you have to cheat
Then tell me that you'll cheat death
So we never run out of time
And if you have to steal
Then baby could you steal my sorrow
Could God give us more years to borrow
I see forever in your eyes
Hope we never say goodbye
But if you have to, lie

Lie
Lie, lie
If you have to, lie
