Don't Have to Lie

[Verse 1] You say you’re doin’ fine With that same half-smile But I know that look I’ve seen it for a while You keep your head up high Like it’s not breakin’ through But I can hear the hurt When the room gets quiet too [Pre-Chorus] You don’t owe me a story You don’t owe me a strong face I know what grief does It leaves a holy mess in place [Chorus] You don’t have to lie to me I know the truth you hide I've walked that same goodbye I’ve cried the tears you’ve cried You don’t have to lie to me I can see through your brave You’re still missin’ somebody That the Lord took away [Verse 2] You answer every message Like the sun still shines But your to-do list keeps growing And you’re quiet half the time You laugh in the right places But Then you turn away Like if you keep it movin’ The hurt might fade someday [Pre-Chorus] But time don’t erase it It just learns your name And every old memory Still cuts the same [Chorus] You don’t have to lie to me I know the truth you hide I've walked that same goodbye I’ve cried the tears you’ve cried You don’t have to lie to me I don't think you're weak You’re still missin’ somebody With the name that you still speak [Bridge] If you need a place to fall apart Mine’s already been broken I won’t ask for answers Cuz the pain's already spoken Some nights the wind comes in And the hurt comes back That kind of missing doesn't ever leave like that!!! [Extended guitar solo] [Chorus] You don’t have to lie to me I know the truth you hide I've sighed every sigh I’ve cried the tears you’ve cried You don’t have to lie to me I can see through your brave You’re still missin’ somebody That the Lord took away [Outro] So lay it down here with me You don’t have to pretend I’ve cried the tears you’ve cried And I’ll cry ’em with you again [End]
