Lie (Live in Berlin, 2019)

[Spoken Intro: James LaBrie]

"This is from the Awake album."

[Verse 1]

Daybreak

At the bottom of the lake

It's a hundred degrees I can't breathe

And I won't get out

'til I figure it out

Though I'm weak like I can't believe

So you tell me 'trust me' l can trust you

Just let me show you

But I got to work it out in a shadow of doubt

Cause I don't know if I know you

[Verse 2]

Doing fine but don't waste my time

Tell me what it is you want to say

You sin, you win, just let me in - hurry

I've been out in the rain all day

So you tell me 'trust me' I can trust you

As far as I can throw you

And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt

Cause I don't know if I know you, come on!

[Chorus]

Don't tell me you wanted me

It's a wondеr I can still breathe

Nevеr been much of a doubting Thomas

But nothing breaks like a broken promise

You tell me 'about your two more coming

But once is just enough for me

[Chorus]

Don't tell me you wanted me

Don't tell me you thought of me

I won't, I swear I won't

(Did)

I'll try, I swear I'll try

(Lie)

[Bridge]

I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed

She comes in apparently to fill the void

All dogs need a leash and

At least I'll forget it

And she would never hurt me though

She's never said it

But I'm not going to ask her today

I don't want to scare her away, no

Your town, I'm all alone

And I just can't stare at the phone

I want to talk about lifelong mistakes

And you can tell your stepfather I said so

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Don't tell me you wanted me

Don't tell me you thought of me

I won't, I swear I won't

(Did)

I'll try, I swear I'll try

(Lie)
