I'm a liar, we both know that.
But for you, this truth I'll tell:
It's for you that I've been lying,
all along this path to hell.
I'm a coward, we both know that.
But I've got the strength to say:
It's for you that I've been fighting
all along this lonely way.
I'm broken, we both know that.
But for you I will admit:
It's you I want to heal me
with a single look, a single kiss.
And when a liar tells the truth
and a coward looks you in the eye
you know this winding road we walk
is the last before I die.
Love, I never was afraid.
I think you knew I lied.
Because somehow every night you knew
when I lay awake and cried.
I know you won't believe me
(We've both learned not to trust)
but I was who I will be--
this isn't, and never was.
So now you understand
that this is my goodbye
and my single last command
is love, don't dare cry.
