        F#
Lately nothing I do ever seems to please you
          D#m
And maybe turning my back would be that much easier
       B                               C#
Cause hurtful words are all that we exchange
                      F#
But I can't watch you walk away

Can I forget about the way it feels to touch you
And all about the good times that we've been through
Could I wake up without you every day?
And would I let you walk away?

G#m          F#/A#            B
No, I can't learn to live without
G#m         F#/A#          B
And I can't give up on us now

Chorus:
   F#
Oh, I know I could say we're through
     C#/F
And tell myself I'm over you
    D#m
But even if I made a vow
    C#                       F#/A#
I promise not to miss you now
      B
And try to hide the truth inside
   C#                               F#
I fail cause I, I just can't live a lie

Could I forget the look that tells
me that you want me
And all the reasons that make loving you so easy?
The kiss that always makes it hard to breathe
The way you know just what I mean

No, I can't learn to live without
Oh, so don't you give up on us now

Chorus

Oh, and I don't wanna try
Oh, I know I could say we're through
And tell myself I'm over you

Chorus:
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I'd fail 'cause I, I just can't live a lie
(I just can't live a lie)
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I'd fail 'cause I, I just can't live a lie

Oh, I can't live a lie
Oh, I can't live a lie
