As her key unlocks the front door 
I reach out to find a light so she can see 
Then I wait to hear her story 
Why she stayed out late tonight & she tells me 

That it really wasn't her fault 
If she'd had her ways she'd have been home hours ago 
That's when her tears start to flowin' 
& she swears it's true but in my heart I know 

When I'm sure that I've convinced her 
That I believe her story then I turn away 
I don't let her know she's hurt me 
'Cause the words stick in my throat I wanna say 
& I'm so afraid I'll lose her 
If she knew I knew the truth she just might go 
So I listen to her story 
Try to hide the hurt, but in my heart I know 

She's lying, there's not a word of truth in her crying 
& still I've got this awful urge to take her in my arms & hold her tight 
God, I know she's lying, a little more of me keeps on dying 
Oh how I wish that I could be the one that she's been lyin' with tonight 
Instead of me I'd rather be the one that she's been lyin' with tonight 
She's lying
