But I Lied

Tina Arena

Open up my eyes into the morning sun
Wonder if it's always been this bright
I could never tell you where it all went wrong
Because you were always right

I could spend a lifetime handing out the blame
I could call it all a big mistake
But love that we are given never goes away
It just changes every day
Guess I'll find it if I wait

And every day gets better
Everything is almost fine
Cause every night I'm still pretending 
You're not on my mind
But I lied

There's nothing in your heart that I don't understand
I know yesterday has come and gone
And wishes are like water slipping through my hands
And I never could hold on

Truth is complicated when it comes to you
And every edge is dangerously rough
Nothing ever changes but my point of view
And today I'll call it love
As if calling was enough

And every day gets better
Everything is almost fine
Cause every night I'm still pretending 
You're not on my mind
But I lied (but I lied, but I lied)

Stumbling through this journey is an uphill climb
So much effort gone and more to come
If I was to make love to you one more time
Would I wonder what I had done? 
And would I be the only one?

And every day gets better
Everything is almost fine
Cause every night I'm still pretending 
You're not on my mind (on my mind)

And every day gets better
Everything is almost fine (everything is fine)
Cause every night (oh, yeah) I'm still pretending (oh, yeah)
You're not on my mind
But I lied (but I lied)
Yeah, yeah
