Yes, my wedding band is just too loose to hold me
'Cause it slips off my finger now and then
Especially when I'm laying here with Anna in my arms
Lord, I find it's gettin' harder to pretend
'Cause Anna just don't know how much I'm married
If she did, I'm sure she'd want to die
But what she doesn't know, I guess won't hurt her anymore
So I lay right here and tell her one more lie (didn't I?)
Laying here, lying in bed
I know what she wants to hear, so that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt her, so I'll tell a lie instead
Laying here, lying in bed
When I get home, I'll kiss the tie that binds me
'Cause he's the apple of his daddy's eye
If his mom awakes and asks me where I've been and if I love her
Lord, I'll have to tell another lie, again tonight
Laying there, lying in bed
I know what they ought to hear, so that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt them, so I'll tell a lie instead
Laying there, lying in bed
I'll be laying there, lying in bed
