Lie

In the Oct 2008 Issue of Rolling Stone, there was a short article about the type of album that David Cook was working on in the studio, "I just want the songs to kick you in the teeth or make you want to cry — or do something drastic, like jump off a building. I want somebody to be exhausted when they're done listening."

In response to this, I want to tell this to David Cook...

"Lie" makes me tear up every time I hear it.. it's such a sad song.. I can feel the raw emotion in your voice.. and I guess some hidden part of me knows that for months now, I'm just putting up this strong facade pretending that I'm okay but deep down I'm really sad and lonely ..It's like I'm lying to myself...which is probably why this song has such an intense impact on me.

Nevertheless, I'm still optimistic that I'll eventually be able to overcome this situation and the time will come when I wouldn't have to lie to say that I'm alright...


Lie

(Bjorklund / Cook / Lind / Maloy)

You whispered that you were getting tired
Got a look in your eye, looks a lot like goodbye
Hold on to your secrets tonight
Don't want to know I'm ok with this silence
It's truth that I don't want to hear
You're hiding regret in your smile
There's a storm in your eyes
I've seen coming for a while
Hang on to the past tense tonight
Don't say a word, I'm ok with the quiet
The truth is going to change everything


So Lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
So Lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie


I know that there's no turning back
If we put too much light on this we'll see through all the cracks
Let's stay in the dark one more night
Don't want to know
I'm ok with the silence
It's truth that I don't want to hear

Don't want to believe in this ending
Let the camera's roll on
Keep pretending
Tomorrow's all wrong if you walk away
Just stay
