Lie to me

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One day I’ll walk away clean

But tonight…

Just lie to me.
