[Verse]
Say it like you mean it, look me in the eyes
Tell me I’m the reason you stay up at night
I know the truth sitting in the room
But I ain’t ready yet to face it with you
Your phone light up, you turn it down
I pretend I didn’t hear that sound
I know your heart don’t live with me
But mine ain’t packed, I’m not ready to leave
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the signs, yeah I see it clear
But I’m too tired to disappear
So just for now, don’t make me strong
I need something to hold me along
[Chorus]
So lie to me
Tell me I’m the only one you need
Say there’s no one else, just you and me
Even if it’s temporary
Lie to me
Tell me I’m the last thing on your mind
That your whole world fits into mine
I know you’re never gonna be
But until I’m ready to leave
Just lie to me
[Verse]
You say my name like it’s still sacred
Like I’m the choice you haven’t made yet
I catch the doubt behind your smile
But I’ll borrow it for a little while
You don’t stay, you don’t explain
You always leave me in the rain
I know you’re never gonna change
But change takes strength I don’t have today
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the truth don’t need no proof
It’s written all over you
But heartbreak heals on its own time
And right now I just need a lie
[Chorus]
So lie to me
Tell me I’m the only one you need
Say there’s no one else, just you and me
Even if it’s temporary
Lie to me
Tell me I’m the last thing on your mind
That your whole world fits into mine
I know you’re never gonna be
But until I’m ready to leave
Just lie to me
[Bridge]
I don’t need forever
I don’t need your truth tonight
I just need a moment
Where it feels like I’m still your life
I know you’re for the streets, yeah I see
But starting over scares me more than you leaving
So if love right now is pretend
Then pretend with me till the end
[Final Chorus]
Lie to me
Hold me like you’re scared to lose
Say I’m everything you choose
Even if it’s killing me
Lie to me
Tell me I’m the only one
Till I’m strong enough to run
I know this isn’t meant to be
But until I’m ready to leave
Just lie to me
[Outro]
One day I’ll walk away clean
But tonight…
Just lie to me.
