Chris Brown - 45/Bet You Know

🎵 “I Don’t Wanna Lie”


Verse 1

Every time I sit you down and try to talk it through,
I’m tryna tell the truth, but it never lands right with you.
My words get twisted, turn to storms I didn’t mean,
And suddenly I’m the villain for the things I’ve seen.

You say you want honesty, but when I open up my chest,
It feel like every truth I give you puts our love to the test.
I ain’t tryna hurt you, girl, I’m just tryna breathe…
But lately every conversation knock me to my knees.

Pre-Chorus

I ain’t askin’ you to love what you don’t understand,
Just want you to hear me like you heard me when we began.
I’m holdin’ on strong, but my heart’s worn thin…
Tryin’ not to lose myself again.

Chorus

I don’t wanna lie, but the truth cuts deep,
Every time I say my feelings, you think differently of me.
I don’t wanna hide, but I’m scared to speak…
’Cause honesty with you feel dangerous to me.

So what am I supposed to do?
Keep the peace or keep it true?
Girl, I’m tryin’, but I’m dyin’ inside…
’Cause I don’t wanna hurt you… I don’t wanna lie, I don't wanna lie

Verse 2

There’s things I feel that I don’t act on,
Thoughts I fight till the break of dawn.
I bring ’em to the table ’cause I trust you, babe…
But somehow every truth I give you gets me pushed away.

I’m tired of pretendin’ I don’t have emotions too,
Tired of swallowin’ my voice just to make room for you.
I’m loyal to the bone, girl, I’m standin’ right here…
But who listens to the man when the man lives in fear?

Pre-Chorus

I ain’t askin’ you to love what you don’t understand,
Just want you to hear me like you heard me when we began.
I’m holdin’ on strong, but my heart’s worn thin…
Tryin’ not to lose myself again.

Chorus

I don’t wanna lie, but the truth cuts deep,
Every time I say my feelings, you think differently of me.
I don’t wanna hide, but I’m scared to speak…
’Cause honesty with you feel dangerous to me.

So what am I supposed to do?
Keep the peace or keep it true?
Girl, I’m tryin’, but I’m dyin’ inside…
’Cause I don’t wanna hurt you…I don't wanna lie, I don't wanna lie

Bridge (Melodic)

You want my heart, you want my soul,
But can you handle them both when the stories unfold?
I ain’t lookin’ to stray, ain’t lookin’ to roam…
I’m just tired of fightin’ this battle alone.

Final Chorus

I don’t wanna lie, but the truth cuts deep,
Every time I say my feelings, you think differently of me.
I don’t wanna hide, but I’m scared to speak…
’Cause honesty with you feel dangerous to me.

So what am I supposed to do?
Keep the peace or keep it true?
Girl, I’m tryin’, but I’m dyin’ inside…
’Cause I don’t wanna hurt you…I don't wanna lie, I don't wanna lie
