Take one step back
Get the picture into view
The focus is clear
And make no decision
The jury is hung
By the guilt of omission you lied

[Chorus]
If you lied
I could think that it's alright
I could pretend
That I don't see much of anything

Take one step back
Get the picture in to view
The focus is clear
And make no decision
The jury is hung
By the guilt of omission

I called on you today
For those things you want to say
The sentiment is honest
But the child in me would rather you lied

If you lied
I could think that it's alright
I could pretend
That I don't see much of anything

If you lied
If you lied
I could think that it's alright
I could pretend
That I don't see much of anything

Give that much to me
I'll be indebted, I don't want to be

If the truth be known I'd rather you lied

[Music]

If you lied
If you lied
I could think that it's alright
I could pretend
That I don't see much of anything

Take one step back
Get the picture into view
The focus is clear
