Living A Lie Lyrics

Living A Lie

By: Shay Healy & Sean Sherrard

So many times I packed my bags
Thinking that I'm gonna leave this time
But I hesitate
And I'll never take that final step

I know that it's wrong to share your bed
Pretending I love you when the feeling's gone
But I can't let go
Cause I've had a taste and I know
I can't be on my own

Living a lie is better than living alone
No matter what they tell you
And faking it by your side is better than
Faking it on my own
And I wish I had the strength to tell you
I wish I had the courage to go
But living a lie is better than living alone

In the dark of the night
I lie awake
Knowing that it would take so long to find someone else
Who could take your place
Who could understand the way I am

Living a lie is better than living alone
No matter what they tell you
And faking it by your side is better than
Faking it on my own
And I wish I had the strength to tell you
I wish I had the courage to go
But living a lie is better than living alone

You've been tryin' to say goodbye for so long now
Know that you're longing to be free
It's just that we've had each other so long to lean on
Do you really have to leave
Do you have to go away
Do you have to go

Living a lie is better than living alone
No matter what they tell you
And faking it by your side is better than
Faking it on my own
And I wish I had the strength to tell you
I wish I had the courage to go
But living a lie is better than living alone

Living a lie is better than living alone
Living a lie is better than living alone
Living a lie is better than living alone
It's so much better than living alone
