I know what's going through your mind you planned to leave my love behind   You're wondering how to break the news to me   I hate to see you worry so I love you but I'll let you go   First you'll have to help me set you free   Lie a little and tell me you still care lie a little and ease the pain I bear   Say you love me once more before we part lie a little before you break my heart   [ steel ]   And now that I'm losing you what harm will make believe in you   Before a little longer I pretend   If you have ever cared at all give me a chance to break the fall   Lie a little say it's not the end   Lie a little and tell me you still care...
