Emily (I need to ask you) lyrics

(Chorus:) Emily, I need to ask you 'Cause you would know better than I If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart Would it be better to lie? I've been keeping the peace with my silence And I know he believes that I'll stay But life won't stop dealing me Cards full of feeling And I just can't throw them away I would pray to the lord for forgiveness If I thought he could still hear my voice But what I need more Is a way out the door From all of this falseness tonight (Chorus:) Emily, I need to ask you 'Cause you would know better than I If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart Would it be better to lie? At this point in time I'm still walking Walking alone by his side But we're getting close To the end of the rope Where my needs and my conscience collide (Chorus:) Emily, I need to ask you 'Cause you would know better than I If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart Would it be better to lie?
