Lie To Me
There's people talking,
Rumors are spreading around.
Is there something I should know,
That you're not telling me now?
I'm honest with you,
In every word that I say.
But if you can't do the same,
Why should I stay?
You wanna work this out,
Our bond is already loose.
You recite "Give it time,"
Just the same old excuse.
I'd rather you lie to me,
Tell me something I wanna hear.
Because I can't keep doing this,
Sooner or later I'm gonna disappear.
So just lie to me,
Act like you want this to work.
And if things aren't better soon,
One of us is going to end up hurt.
To make things move along,
The truth you should speak.
I'm probably asking a lot,
Because all you do is lie to me.
I try to get inside your head,
Learn what makes you tick.
The way you ignore me,
There's something to make you click.
You act like a different person,
If you aren't given your way.
What a child, such a baby,
I hope you mature someday.
You think I'm kidding when I don't speak,
But the joke is on you.
This is exactly what you'll get,
You'll never tell the truth.
I'd rather you lie to me,
Tell me something I wanna hear.
Because I can't keep doing this,
Sooner or later I'm gonna disappear.
So just lie to me,
Act like you want this to work.
And if things aren't better soon,
One of us is going to end up hurt.
To make things move along,
The truth you should speak.
I'm probably asking a lot,
Because all you do is lie to me.
Do you know what I see,
Every time you speak to me?
A lie is what you breathe,
You trap the truth underneath.
For once, set your mind free,
Expand the truth like the roots of a tree.
Maybe then you'll hear my cry and plea,
But if not, I might as well leave...
Please, just lie to me,
Tell me something I wanna hear.
Because I can't keep doing this,
Sooner or later I'm gonna disappear.
So just lie to me,
Act like you want this to work.
And if things aren't better soon,
One of us is going to end up hurt.
To make things move along,
The truth you should speak.
I'm probably asking a lot,
Because all you do is lie to me...
