Parallel Lies

(Original Music & Lyric Written By: Robert Graham – BMI – Copyright 2025 – All Rights Reserved)

[Verse 1]

Our paths crossed yet another night

We can't keep on, it's just not right

We're both married but I can't resist the blue, in your eyes

My soul without you is like an empty cave

This ain't no proper way for us to behave

We're both married, we can't keep living these parallel lies

[Chorus]

Parallel lies, we've got to let it end

Parallel lies, our hearts will have to mend

Living these lies will scar our hearts, scars we can't disguise

Sooner or later we've got to realize

We can't go on living these parallel lies

[Verse 2]

I wake up to the sound of your car, as you're pulling out of the drive

I wonder if I should pinch myself just to prove I'm still alive

I swore I wouldn't do it, but somehow we've done it again

We really shouldn't have, cause me loving you, it's a sin

[Chorus]

Parallel lies, we've got to let it end

Parallel lies, our hearts will have to mend

Living these lies will scar our hearts, scars we can't disguise

Sooner or later we've got to realize

We can't go on living these parallel lies

[Verse 3]

Your man deserves better, my woman does too

If we were ever caught, there'd be nothing we could do

This was bound to happen, it comes as no surprise

Just another fatal symptom, another fatal symptom of livin',

Another fatal symptom of livin' these parallel lies

[Chorus]

Parallel lies, we've got to let it end

Parallel lies, our hearts will have to mend

Living these lies will scar our hearts, scars we can't disguise

Sooner or later we've got to realize

We can't go on living these parallel lies

We can't go on living these parallel lies.
