Can't Deny from Diary Music by Natalie Paige

Before I give a thing away, allow me first, a word to say
You're nothing to me
But intimately here we lie, again we share a pillow I
said single I would be

Next time when you say goodnight
Do me a favor and don't do it right
You're not supposed to hold me so close so tight

We all have our ways to lie,
how else on earth would we get by, it's not hard to do
But what's the point in lying here,
I don't know what there is to fear
just stop me if I'm wrong

Next time when you say goodnight
Do me a favor and don't do it right
You're not supposed to hold me so close so tight

You don't talk to me, your eyes are open but you don't see
I tell myself I'm done, it's what you do to me

Next time when you say goodnight
Do me a favor and don't do it right
It's hard to leave lies when they hold you tight

Next time when I give the look,
pretend I'm not an open book
leave me then and there and I won't care
lie to me next time we say goodnight

While other souls attract my eye
those lips, so close, I can't deny
