That old photograph of us sure looks out of place
Layin' on your bag out in the hall
You're takin' it to remind you of our better days
The ones you say you'll miss when you're gone

Don't lie, don't try to fool me
'Cause girl I know what's goin' on
Don't lie, you owe it to me
Believe me and leave well enough alone
So just go ahead and say goodbye
But don't lie

Well I've seen all his letters in the closet
I've caught a trace of his cologne on you at night
So don't stand there and act so broken hearted
And tell me how it's killing you inside

Don't lie, don't try to fool me
'Cause girl I know what's goin' on
Don't lie, you owe it to me
Believe me and leave well enough alone
So just go ahead and say goodbye
But don't lie

Just come out and say it
Don't worry I can take it
Don't ya think that I deserve the truth

Don't lie, don't try to fool me
'Cause girl I know what's goin' on
Don't lie, you owe it to me
Believe me and leave well enough alone
So just go ahead and say goodbye
Girl so just go ahead and say goodbye
But don't lie
Oh, just don't lie
