lying to myself

your perfume is on the pillow

but i can't bring myself to change that pillow case

some of your clothes are in the closet

but i can't bring myself to throw them away

and you stare at me from across the room

i remember when i took that picture

my favorite one of you

to tell the truth

i like lyin' to myself

it keeps you with me

there will never be anyone else

although you're everywhere i look

i know you're really gone

to tell the truth

without you

i like lyin' to myself

all of our friends ask about you

and i tell them that we're doin' fine

in my heart

we're still together

but i'm in love's prison

doin' time

i just can't admit to losing you

so i

to stop this pain i can't go through
