Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
As you walk away, As we say goodbye. What I wouldn't give, For a tender lie. Say you'll never stop loving me, Just as if it were true. How much more damage now, unto me, Could one tender lie do? When we fall so far, Are we wrong to try? To fight off the truth, With a tender lie? Say you're gonna come back to me, And I'll believe that it's true, How much more damage now, unto me, Could one tender lie do? Instrumental break. When we loved before, Do you still deny, Keeping out the truth, With a tender lie? Say you'll never stop loving me, Just as if it were true. How much more damage now, unto me, Could one tender lie do? How much more damage now, unto me, Could one tender lie do?
