Discover the story of the song > Lie – David Cook

The protagonist's partner seems unhappy and about to leave, but he doesn't want to hear the truth. Instead, he asks her to lie and tells her he's okay with keeping things quiet. He even suggests they stay in the dark, because he's afraid of what he'll see if they shed light on their problems. He begs her to keep pretending everything is alright, and to lie to him to give him hope that they'll make it through.
