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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
It's up to you
This can go go either way
You get to choose
Which road we take
So
[Chorus]
Before you lie
Before you lie
