[Verse 1]
If we stop right here, no one else would be at risk
We could walk away like nothin' else exists
Trust me, it'll all go back (Go back)
If we leave it right where it's at (It's at, it's at)
And if we try to throw it out just like a boomerang comin' right back, back, back
[Pre-Chorus]
You know we both been fools
(Makin' our own rules)
We got a lot to lose, so much to lose
I'm in it with you
[Chorus]
How long can we live a lie?
Just so I'm in line, I done heard the truth a million times
Let's be honest
How long can you live a lie, a lie, a lie?
[Post-Chorus]
I been holdin' it down as long as I can since I'm your friend
You been fakin' your love, it's burnin' you up
How long can we live a lie?
A lie
[Verse 2]
If it get out that we both wanna get out
It'll tear someone apart
'Cause you got your thing and I do my thing (Oh, babe)
That's why I wanna protect your heart (Heart, heart)
Stand guard (Guard, guard)
It's more than just walkin' away, yes
We've been doing this for so long but it's so wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
You know we both been fools
(Makin' our own rules)
We got a lot to lose, so much to lose
I'm in it with you
[Chorus]
How long can we live a lie?
Just so I'm in line, I done heard the truth a million times
Let's be honest
How long can you live a lie, a lie, a lie?
[Post-Chorus]
I been holdin' it down as long as I can since I'm your friend
You been fakin' your love, it's burnin' you up
How long can we live a lie?
A lie
[Bridge]
It's a fact we're both at fault for this
Lay it all out on the table
It's a fact we both took part in this
How long can we live a lie?
It's a fact we both got stuck in this
Nobody else can change it
And you been fakin' your love
Fakin' your love
How long can we live
[Chorus]
How long can we live a lie? (Ooh)
Just so I'm in line, I done heard the truth a million times
Let's be honest
How long can you live a lie, a lie, a lie?
[Post-Chorus]
I been holdin' it down as long as I can since I'm your friend
You been fakin' your love, it's burnin' you up
How long can we live a lie?
A lie
[Outro]
A lie
