Intro chords:
My friends all ask how I’m doin’
Since you took your sweet love away
And I know that they’re just showing they care
But what do they expect me to say
Chorus 1:
So I lie, I tell them I’m alright
I lie, I tell them I’m fine
I don’t think they really want to know the truth
what’s the use, what can they do
So I look them straight in the eye and I lie
They offer a shoulder to cry on
Anytime, I just have to call
But little do they know, the river that would flow
If I let the first teardrop fall
Chorus 1 Again
So I lie, I tell them I’m alright
I lie, I tell them I’m fine
I don’t think they really want to know the truth
what’s the use, what can they do
So I look them straight in the eye and I lie
Bridge
I’ve often wondered what I’d do if I were to, run into you
Would my heart fall at your feet, would my foolish pride get the best of me
Honestly, I believe
Chorus 2:
That I’d lie and tell you I’m alright
I lie, I’d tell you I’m fine
I could never ever let you know the truth
That I’m still in love, and so confused
So I’d hide my pain deep inside
Then I’d look you straight in the eye and I’d lie
