[Verse 1]
She said, "Honestly, honesty don't always easily come by me"
I said, "That's probably a problem, 'cause I can't help fallin' for you, you see"

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when you look me in the eyes and say "I love you"
How can I be sure that it's true? I don't wanna end up like a fool

[Chorus]
So if you're gonna lie, lie in my arms
And if you're gonna steal, steal my heart
Can we make a right from a wrong, or are we lost?
Just holdin' to a hope that's gone
Baby, if we're goin' down, can we try to make it count?

[Verse 2]
I'm tired of fightin' and tryin' my best
To see the silver linin', but lyin' madе this love a mess
Yeah, yеah, yeah, you say we're good but never mean it, wish I could say I believe it
Ain't gotta project it either, it's written on your demeanor
This ain't a rock, it's a pebble in the sand
And I'm sinkin', I'm sinkin', I'm sinkin' in

[Pre-Chorus]
When you look me in the eyes and say "I love you"
How can I be sure that it's true? I don't wanna end up like a fool
[Chorus]
So if you're gonna lie, lie in my arms
And if you're gonna steal, steal my heart
Can we make a right from a wrong, or are we lost?
Just holdin' to a hope that's gone
Baby, if we're goin' down, can we try to make it count?

[Post-Chorus]
Can we—can we try to make it—it count?
Can we try—can we try—
