I whispered you words I thought I'd never say
We played the game but then we tossed the rules away
Could deny it, justify it, but we both know that we went too far
Oh, I can feel you and I need you, no matter wherever you are
I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Baby, I just can't lie to my heart
I have loved you longer than you've even known
When you hurt, I hurt, I'm your flesh and you're my bone
If I could only be two people, darlin' I swear, we'd both be with you
Oh, I know I'm selfish, but I'm helpless, I want you and nothing else will do
I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Rippin' me right apart
I won't pretend anymore
Been hiding too long
I won't go on like before
I'm not that strong
Oh, I can feel it when I'm near you
It's not healthy to need you this way
I try to fight it, get inside it
This pain is stronger than me and it won't go away
I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Rippin' me right apart
I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Not anymore, I can't lie anymore, baby, I can't, baby, I can't
No, baby, I just can't lie to my heart
