VERSE:
I saw you crying thru your window yesterday
Walking a dog down the street
I saw the phone fall off the table
It just rang and rang and rang
One day I'll put my fingers to the wires for you
But it could be the last time that I say many of these things

CHORUS:
You have to lie cuz you've done nothing

VERSE:
Can't you see that this love can never be?
It isn't up to you, it isn't up to me
It's the family
There were things the brother learnt too soon
Suffering to his soundtrack
There's smoke behind the school
Now he walks and talks like a stranger
Visits, prays, and now she says she'll gladly stay
A faithful sister she will stay

CHORUS:
You have to lie cuz you've done nothing

BRIDGE:
A faithful sister
Is better than anything

OUTRO:
You have to lie cuz you've done nothing
A faithful sister she will stay
