Restless Heart – A Tender Lie Lyrics
As you walk away
As we say goodbye;
What I wouldn’t give
For a tender lie
(CHORUS)
Say you’ll never stop loving me
Just as if it were true
How much damage now, honestly
Could one tender lie do?
When we fall so far
Are we wrong to try;
To fight off the truth
With a tender lie
Say you’re gonna come back to me
And I’ll believe that it’s true
How much damage now, honestly
Could one tender lie do?
When we loved before
Do you still deny;
Keeping out the truth
With a tender lie?
(CHORUS)
GENIUS
