Lying (Next To You)
[Verse 1]
I stick around ‘cause it’s familiar
But I’m just scrolling through pictures
Never thought that this bed could get bigger
It’s not the same

[Verse 2]
You don’t ask and I never say it
I got so good at fakin’
What’s the straw to finally break it?
We say I love you, but it doesn't sound the same

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ah-ooh
We’re caught in a wreck
Ah-ooh
And I made the mess

[Chorus]
Staring in the mirror like I got two heads
‘Part of me saying we're not supposed end
I could keep pretending but it ain't the truth
Cause I’ve been lying next to you

[Verse 3]
Let me in, what are you thinking?
I hate to see you hurt
So I deny that something is missing
And say I love you but that only makes it worse
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ah-ooh
What’d I expect?
Ah-ooh
Nevertheless, I’m

[Chorus]
Staring in the mirror like I got two heads
‘Part of me saying we're not supposed end
I could keep pretending but it ain't the truth
Cause I’ve been lying next to you

[Bridge]
Is it a phase?
Or am I just crazy thinking that things might change?
Are we just doing the same damn thing?

[Chorus]
Staring in the mirror like I got two heads
‘Part of me saying we're not supposed end
I could keep pretending but it ain't the truth
Cause I’ve been lying next to you

Yea I got my secrets and they’re hard to keep
Cause you keep lying next to me
Would it make a difference if I told the truth?
[Outro]
Would we still be strangers in this room?
Would I still be lying next to you?
