[intro]
(ohhh)
(Ah ah ah)
[verse 1]
You hold me like you mean it
Like there’s nothing left to hide
But your voice is just a whisper
That’s been rehearsed a thousand times
You say it like it’s easy
Like it’s something clean and true
But I’ve learned to hear the silence
In everything you do
[pre-chorus]
There’s a crack in every promise
There’s a shift behind your eyes
You don’t even try to hide it—
you just wrap it in disguise
[chorus]
Give me one more lie
Say it like you care
Say it like you’d never
Leave me standing there
Give me one more lie
I’ll pretend I don’t see right through
Make it a sweet escape
From reality and the truth
[verse 2]
You move a little closer
Like you’re trying to stay
But distance lives between us
In every word you say
I hear it in the silence
In the things you don’t deny
You’re already gone
You just haven’t said goodbye
[pre-chorus]
And I keep pretending
I don’t see the truth
Like I’d rather have the lie
Than lose all of you
[chorus]
Give me one more lie
Say it like you care
Say it like you’d never
Leave me standing there
Give me one more lie
I’ll pretend I don’t see right through
Make it a sweet escape
From reality and the truth
[bridge]
Don’t tell me it’s over
Don’t say it out loud
I’d rather believe you
Than face it right now
If truth is a knife
Then leave it inside
I don’t want the ending—
just one more lie
[metal guitar solo]
[alternative chorus]
Give me one more lie
Let it sound like hope
Let it feel like something
I can almost hold
Give me one more lie
Before you disappear
Let me live inside it
Like you’re still right here
[outro]
Just one more lie
I need more time
Show me some mercy
Give me one more lie
