The Lie

She thought the marriage was over And she needed a shoulder to cry on She turned to another And for a night found a lover But it felt so wrong The next month they reconciled But every time she saw him smile She knew she couldn't tell him 'bout that night She prays to God, he never finds out about the lie Like a pain almost too much to bare The guilt will always be right there Ripping away at her heart Some would say she's wrong to keep The secret from him But she knows the truth Will tear his world apart She's gonna live and die with the lie There little boy turned five the other day At the party she never seen a face so happy She worries as the years go by Will he wonder why he don't look like his daddy? She sees him playing in the yard The laughter sometimes hits her hard The bond they share makes her start to cry And times like that she'd give anything If she could change the lie Like a pain almost too much to bare The guilt will always be right there Ripping away at her heart Some would say she's wrong to keep The secret from him But she knows the truth Will tear his world apart She's gonna live and die with the lie They never spoke about that night They shared so long ago But everyday they pass at work And she wonders if he knows Like a pain almost too much to bare The guilt will always be right there Ripping away at her heart Some would say she's wrong to keep The secret from him But she knows the truth Will tare his world apart She's gonna live and die with the lie She's gonna live And die with the lie
