Hoping this will send chills down your spine. I started writing this song at the last minute as it came to me late in the week. It had such an emotional impact from the moment i sang the first lyric. This song is not about lost love, but about the circumstances surrounding love.
lyrics
Why, why do I
Tell myself lies
When I say I love you
And why, why do you
Believe the lies
When I say I love you
Now we, we both know
We can’t carry on
Why do we pretend this way
That everything is still okay
Why, why do I
Tell myself lies
When I say I love you
And why, why do you
Believe the lies
When I say I love you
We must carry on
I know the road will be hard
You know I’m just not that strong
But know how much I love you
Why, why do I
Tell myself lies
When I say I love you
And why, why do you
Believe the lies
When I say I love you
