SONG >  I LAY...

Written by Brian Walstad

I tell everybody I'm doin' fine
You don't even cross my mind
They don't see me deep in the night
That's where the truth can't run and hide
This house is like a bad dream
I live in every day
Walls are closin' in
Memories come to stay
I cover up the things'
Don't want no one to see
No no one really knows'
What happens' here with me

I lay here and I lie
No everything will never be alright
It's hard to face the night
Without her at my side
No she's not comin' back
To hold me tight
So I lay here and I lie

Moonlight castin' shadows'
She's not here to hold
I walk these empty halls
Ever since she's gone
Wear my heart out on my sleeve
Behind these doors at night
Wrestle sheets and pillows
In my lonely life
I try to hide my feelins'
Ain't doin' very well
Can't undo the past
Only I can tell
What I really feel
How it's really been
Every nights' the same
The emptiness don't end

I lay here and I lie
No everything will never be alright
It's hard to face the night
Without her at my side
No she's not comin' back
To hold me tight
So I lay here and I lie

Hindsights' 20/20
I can't change how things' worked out
Finally takin' blame
For the love I'm missin' now
Lookin' down the barrel
To an empty life
A future here without her
I'm tryin' hard to hide

I lay here and I lie
No everything will never be alright
It's hard to face the night
Without her at my side
No she's not comin' back
To hold me tight
So I lay here and I lie

I lay here and I lie
I lay here and I lie
I lay here and I lie
