Notes About The Poem

When Enough Overcomes Love.......

Lie

He told her....this way...


Don't say a word....
Just turn out the lights
I don't think I need to hear
What's kept you out all night

So, save your breath
Save that perfect alibi...
No, I won't ask you questions
And you won't have to lie

Chorus:

You won't have to lie
In my arms...anymore
And you don't have to cry
'Cause we've been there before

I don't need an explanation
Just say the word, goodbye
And I won't ask you questions
And you won't have to lie

Don't look surprised....
Did you think I couldn't see
Another lover in your eyes
When you were holding me

I'm all out of trust...
Let me keep my wounded pride
And I won't ask you questions
And you won't have to lie

Repeat chorus and tag
