Seal - The Way I Lie lyrics

rate me

<!-- start of lyrics -->

I, I remember when, when we first met

...

You were young, free of confusion

And I could see you lived just for the moment

I didn't hesitate, I took you by waist

And took what you were giving

And you said, "Oh, is that how you do it

Then let's get to it, with you I feel free"

Darling, you, you keep holdin' on

Tryin' to be strong but it won't be long

Before you, you ask me to say

That we'll be okay so I play along

But you don't notice the way I lie

Way I lie, oh, yeah

Yes, we had love but we had bad timing

And there's nothing you can do, no

When all that you're livin' for

Comes tumblin' to the floor and now you are free

Darling, you, you keep holdin' on

Tryin' to be strong but it won't be long

Before you, you ask me to say

That we'll be okay so I play along

But you don't notice

Outside a city sleeps, inside you weep

We took it all too far

But it's because of truth I believe it too

We have to know who we are

Darling, you, you ask me to say

That we'll be okay so I play along

But you still don't notice the way I lie

Way I lie

I say you, you don't notice the way I lie

I say you, you don't notice the way I lie

I say you, you don't notice the way I lie

I say you, you don't notice the way I lie

I say you, you don't notice the way I lie, lie

I say you, you don't notice the way I lie
