I Could Lie To You

If I knew the truth then I could lie to you

If I knew just where and why I stood

If I knew how to betray you

Maybe I would

If I had a watch then I could take my time

If I had to love you I just might

If I knew the law I could commit a crime

But it wouldn't be right, no it wouldn't be right

My red white blue princess

Who would guess

How she scares me so

I'll never know

If I knew how scared you were I wouldn't have laughed

When you told me peace may never come

Why don't you finish your story

And I will just hum

If you let me go then I could reach for you

If you pulled away then I could fall

If I knew how to forget you

God help us all

My red white blue princess

Who would guess

How she scares me so

And if I knew the truth then I could lie to you
