David Cook - David Cook (2008)
"Lie" Lyrics


You whisper that that you were getting tired
Got a look in your eye, looks a lot like goodbye
Hold on to your secrets tonight
I don’t want to know
I’m okay with this silence
It’s truth that I don’t want to end

You’re hiding regret in your smile
Thre’s a storm in your eyes I’ve seen coming for a while
Hang onto the past tense tonight
Don’t say a word
I’m okay with the quiet
The truth is going to change everything

So lie to me and tell me that it’s going to be all right.
So lie to me and tell me we’re going to make it through the night.
I don’t mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye
Lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie

I know that there’s no turning back
If we put too much light on this we’ll see through all the cracks
Let’s stay in the dark one more night
Don’t want to know
I’m okay with the silence
It’s truth that I don’t want to end

So lie to me and tell me that it’s going to be all right
So lie to me and tell me that we’ll make it through the night
I don’t mind if you wait before you tear me apart
So look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie

Don’t want to believe in this ending
Let the cameras roll on
Keep pretending
Tomorrow’s all wrong if you walk away
Just stay.

So lie to me and tell me that it’s going to be okay
So lie to me and tel me that we’ll make it through the day
I don’t mind if you wait before you tear me apart.
So look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie

I love this song too! Very personal lyrics.
I love how David has let himself be so vulnerable with us on this album and especially on songs like this.

Now I know what he meant when he used the analogy that writing this album was
"like taking his clothes of in church." Awww David you aren`t holding anything back baby! wink.gif

This is what makes him so different--it's personal those lyrics. He relates to each word and they are believable. He touches your soul.

Let me tell you I have listened to this album (over and over and over) and yes, I am addicted to David Cook but put that aside okay...

I am an older fan and haven't been into music for a long time because for so long it just sounded like noise to me. I wanted people to turn down the radio all the time and usually off in the car. I have Cook's stuff on full blast. I have an iPod and it's just Cook on it.

Every single song on that album touches me, except with maybe Light On because you sure can tell David Cook didn't write those lyrics and you can tell if you listen to the rest. The album gives me the chills.

I don't know how anyone could not love this album and every single song on it. This is an A++ rating as far as I'm concerned. Bar-ba-Sol starts off hard rock and then you just it a few seconds and Holy ****--you are hooked. I love every single song and they are all unique and different and distinct. There is no way anyone could hear "Daughtry" in this album--no way no how. Permanent is playing right now as I write this, and I'm crying. I don't do that--no song has ever touched me like that EVER.

The ability to do that--separates David Cook light years above anyone else currently on the charts and hopefully in the future because people have to be totally deaf and cold not to be affected by this album.

My first impression of the lyrics is that he is singing about the other AI contestants. They were really close on the show and I think that some of them had a feeling when they weren't going to make it to the next round. To me the song says "don't even talk about it" like they need to just get through the next day.

Of course I am probably TOTALLY wrong, LOL.

I love how the melody+lyrics is heartbreaking to listen to. It's like there's this "defeat" or "resignation" going on and yet the person is still trying


Hmmm.. I just listened to the song again and it kinda reminds me of Iris by the Goo goo dolls.

Weird huh. but it really does.

I hope he releases this song.

I LOVE your take on the song! smile.gif Of course my first impression is of a relationship that's going sour and yet... he doesn't want it to end, but I really like your interpretation!

The sadness and hopelessness in this song just resonate throughout in such a human, relatable way. Absolutely gorgeous.

This is my favorite song on the cd. The live versions are even better.

It’s truth that I don’t want to end
Isn't he saying "hear" instead of "end" ? At least, that's what I hear on the live versions.

Has anyone here read the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? Because this song is word-for-word perfect for Peeta/Katniss! Especially the line "Let the cameras roll on/Keep pretending," now that's just creepy how perfect it is!

I normally don't read lyrics, I prefer to learn them by singing, but I had to look up these. It made me wonder about the "keep the cameras rolling" part. Hmmm now it makes more sense where this song came from. Wow he is amazing, let's his whole soul out there
