As her key unlocks the front door
I reach out to find the light so she can see
Then I wait to hear her story
Why she stayed out late tonight
And she tells me
That it really wasn't her fault
If she'd had her way
She'd been home hours ago
That's when her tears start to flow
And she swears it's true
But in my heart
I know
When I'm sure that I've convinced her
That I believe her story
Then I turn away
I don't let her know she's hurt me
Cause the words stick in my throat
I wanna say
And I'm sure that I've convinced her

I'm so afraid I'll lose her
If she knew I knew the truth
She just might go
So I listen to her story
Try to hide the hurt
But in my heart I know
She's lying
There's not a word of truth in her story

And I've seen her crying
And still I've got this awful urge
To take her in my arms and hold her tight
And God I know she's lying
A little more of me keeps on dying
God I know she's lying A little more of me keeps on dying

Oh how I wish that I could be
The one that she's been lying with tonight
Instead of me I'd rather be
The one that she's been lying with tonight
She's lying
She's lying
She's lying
She's lying
