Really tonight I'm really letting go
There was something you said that just changed it all
And even though it came out all hollow and faint
I can see what you're hiding
I know what you can't
When you lie and tell me you're happy
When you lie, lie, lie
And tell me you're happy
And I wanted to ask about the sadness in you
But it frightenedme and somehow I already knew
I'm a marked man now, I'll always return
And if I can't forget, and if I can't unlearn
You must lie and tell me you're happy
You gotta lie, lie, lie
And tell me you're happy
There's so many ways to live a life
There are so many ways
To get stuck in a lie
Should we meet again, say in 15 years
You must promise me this, if you can't be sincere
You must lie and tell me you're happy
You gotta lie, lie, lie
And tell me you're happy
For a while there I though I was closed to home
And not just any port in any storm
Did we violate a higher plan
Well you can comfort me in ways no repentance can
Just lie and tell me you're happy
I guess I'm just a romantic fool
I'm scared of dying and so are you
And if they fence you in, and I'm no longer here
Don't say we were just trying to fight the years
No baby, you lie and tell me you're happy
