"Could You Lie?" lyrics

You're saying to me what you hear
From all the people cursing in your ear
Trying out the possibilities of finding in me
My worst sense of fear

Now you're a coward and you're much too tense
And you're afraid you jump at my pretense
But could you lie, if your life would end?
Could you lie, I don't think you can
Could you lie

When you're sleeping premonitions of the worst kind come creeping from your mind
So you slam the bedroom door from all the things that may have come and then you hide

Now you're confused and you sleep much too late
You try to drink, but you don't like the taste
But could you lie [?]
Could you lie you will on your first date
Could you lie

[?]
Could you lie
Would you lie
Could you lie
Would you lie

Now you're trapped into an alleyway you're covered in a box and soaked with rain
When you think about the food your mother made when you were young you go insane
Maybe this could go another way
Do you want to live another day
Could you lie, I don't think you can
Would you lie, I don't think you will
Could you lie
Would you lie
