lie
dream theater
awake

music: dream theater
lyrics: kevin moore

daybreak
at the bottom of lake
it's a hundred degrees i can't breathe
and i won't get out
'til i figure it out
though i'm weak like i can't believe
so you tell me 'trust me' l can trust you
just let me show you
but i gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt
'cause i don't know if i know you

doing fine but don't waste my time
tell me what it is you want to say
you sin, you win, just let me in - hurry
i've been out in the rain all day
so you tell me 'trust me' i can trust you
as far as i can throw you
and i'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt
'cause i don't know if i know you

don't tell me you wanted me
don't tell me you thought of me
i won't, i swear i won't
(did)
i'll try, i swear i'll try
(lie)

mother mary quite contrary
kiss the boys and make them wary
things are getting just a little bit scary
it's a wonder i can still breathe

never been much of a doubting thomas
but nothing breaks like a broken promise
you tell me 'bout your two more coming
but once is just enough for me

don't tell me you wanted me
don't tell me you thought of me
i won't, i swear i won't
(did)
i'll try, i swear i'll try
(lie)

i had gotten used to being a soul destroyed
she comes in apparently to fill the void
all dogs need a leash and
at least i'll forget it
and she would never hurt me though
she's never said it
but i'm not gonna ask her today
i don't wanna scare her away
your town, i'm all alone
and i just can't stare at the phone
i wanna talk about lifelong mistakes
and you can tell your stepfather i said so

don't tell me you wanted me
don't tell me you thought of me
i won't, i swear i won't
(did)
i'll try, i swear i'll try
(lie)
