Would You Say I Lied?

If I said I was a virgin
Would you say I lied?

Would you look in my eyes
And determine
That I'm slyly making myself out to be
More saintly than I am?

And would you give a damn?
If you knew I lied

If I said I didn't fuck your best friend last night
If I said I didn't mind when you passed me by
If I said I didn't cry when you went home with some other guy
Would you call me on it
Would you say I lied?

Would you care enough about the truth
To go through that with me
To be a seeker of honesty
Would you create an awkward exchange
Or change what happened
Between you and me

If I said I didn't love you anymore
Would you store that somewhere
Until a day when you need a good item
To toss in my face

Would you place that lie somewhere
Until it became of use
Or would you lose it immediately
Letting me believe I'm that good

Would you do what you should?
Or would you say I lied?

And are you going to let me get away
With the same thing tonight?

Or are you going to do
What you always do

Sit back
Relax
And pretend
The lie's the truth
