My friends all tell me let her go and she'll come runnin' back.
My friends don't know I'm in too deep, I'm too far gone for that.
I love her so much, sometimes I think I'll lose my mind.
But I'd rather hear her lies than see her leaving.
Yes I'd rather hear her say, "I still love you."
When I know there's someone else that she loves more.
And I know that loving her might take more love than I can stand.
I would rather hear her lies than see her leaving.
Sometimes at night I lie awake and hear her call his name,
And I reach for her and love her, but it's not quite the same.
She's almost so close and yet so far away,
I would rather have her almost, than loose her all the way.
Yes I'd rather hear her say. "I still need you."
When I know there's someone else that she desires,
And I know that it's a fool who won't see smoke where there's a fire,
But I'd rather hear her lies than see her leaving.
Yes I know that it's a fool who won't see smoke where there's a fire.
But I'd rather hear her lies than see her leaving.
