The Truest Lie
Music and lyrics by Timothy Loest.© 1989 Timothy O. Loest.All rights reserved.
I realize that when you’re youngThere’s so much life to find(but) Turning away from love that’s strongWon’t give you peace of mind
(Chorus)Seems right when I see you closest to meYour head makes your heart denyOh, hiding from love because you’re afraidIs living the truest lie
How can you say that what I feelIs wrong and shouldn’t beYou lead me on in such a wayYou make a fool of me
(Chorus)‘Cause right when I see you closest to meYour head makes your heart denyOh, hiding from love because you’re afraidIs living the truest lie
And if I wait for you to knowThe love may soon be goneWith this goodbye please understandI must be moving on
(Chorus)So please if you see that you care for meAnd your head and heart complyOh, don’t hide from love because you’re afraidOr you’ll live the truest lie…
(Tag)Don’t you knowTake a chanceLet love growOr you’ll live the truest lie…
Please don’t live the truest lie
(Chorus)Seems right when I see you closest to meYour head makes your heart denyOh, hiding from love because you’re afraidIs living the truest lie
How can you say that what I feelIs wrong and shouldn’t beYou lead me on in such a wayYou make a fool of me
(Chorus)‘Cause right when I see you closest to meYour head makes your heart denyOh, hiding from love because you’re afraidIs living the truest lie
And if I wait for you to knowThe love may soon be goneWith this goodbye please understandI must be moving on
(Chorus)So please if you see that you care for meAnd your head and heart complyOh, don’t hide from love because you’re afraidOr you’ll live the truest lie…
(Tag)Don’t you knowTake a chanceLet love growOr you’ll live the truest lie…
Please don’t live the truest lie
