The Lies We Tell - Kele

If I could give you peace

I’d gladly give my soul

If I could wash you clean

I would

If I could make you well

I’d trade my life for yours

To see you home

I’d give it all

Wish upon a wish

Prayer upon a prayer

We’ve been here

So many times before

The lies you told

The promises you’ve made

Through it all

I loved you the same

Helplessness is all I’ve known

The agony of never knowing

If one day the call that I can’t face will come

You can’t always

You can’t always

You can’t always

Depend on love

You can’t always

You can’t always

You can’t always

Depend on love

Sometimes it seems

We’re on opposing teams

If I could change it all

I wouldn’t change a thing

So if I lose my cool

Be patient with me

Hear my voice

Not just my words

We can’t always

We can’t always

We can’t always

Depend on love

We can’t always

We can’t always

We can’t always

Depend on love

When push came to shove

It wasn’t enough

We did not sleep on those nights

We can’t always

We can’t always

We can’t always

Choose our sons

If I could give you peace

If I could give you peace
