Living A Lie

By: Shay Healy & Sean Sherrard

So many times I packed my bags

Thinking that I'm gonna leave this time

But I hesitate

And I'll never take that final step

I know that it's wrong to share your bed

Pretending I love you when the feeling's gone

But I can't let go

Cause I've had a taste and I know

I can't be on my own

Living a lie is better than living alone

No matter what they tell you

And faking it by your side is better than

Faking it on my own

And I wish I had the strength to tell you

I wish I had the courage to go

But living a lie is better than living alone

In the dark of the night

I lie awake

Knowing that it would take so long to find someone else

Who could take your place

Who could understand the way I am

Living a lie is better than living alone

No matter what they tell you

And faking it by your side is better than

Faking it on my own

And I wish I had the strength to tell you

I wish I had the courage to go

But living a lie is better than living alone

You've been tryin´ to say goodbye for so long now

Know that you're longing to be free

It's just that we've had each other so long to lean on

Do you really have to leave

Do you have to go away

Do you have to go

Living a lie is better than living alone

No matter what they tell you

And faking it by your side is better than

Faking it on my own

And I wish I had the strength to tell you

I wish I had the courage to go

But living a lie is better than living alone

Living a lie is better than living alone

Living a lie is better than living alone

Living a lie is better than living alone

It's so much better than living alone
