Before You Lie - Chely Wright

(Gary Burr/Bob McBill)

I think I know what you're about to say 
I can see it in your eyes and on your face 
We swore we never would 
So while the words are still unspoken 
Don't you think you should 

Take a breath 
Take a moment 
Take your time 
Before you lie 
'Cause once you do 
Love is different 
Everything changes 
Between you and I 
And it gets easier every time 
Oh and you can still change your mind 
Before you lie 

All I ask of you is honesty 
We said that's how this love will always be 
So careful what you say 
'Cause it only takes a half a truth 
To throw it all away 

Take a breath 
Take a moment 
Take your time 
Before you lie 
'Cause once you do 
Love is different 
Everything changes 
Between you and I 
And it gets easier every time 
Oh and you can still change your mind 
Before you lie 

It's up to you 
This can go go either way 
You get to choose 
Which road we take 
So 

Take a breath 
Take a moment 
Take your time 
Before you lie 
'Cause once you do 
Love is different 
Everything changes 
Between you and I 
And it gets easier every time 
Oh and you can still change your mind 
Before you lie 

Before you lie 
Before you lie
