Lie To Me

VERSE 1:
Whisper in my ear the words that you want me to say,
I’ll hold my breath and count to ten to feel the same way.
And I’ll keep ignoring the things I need.

Wrap me up into your arms and tell me it’s alright.
I’ll fool myself to think I only want you for the night,
and only know the truth in my dreams.

CHORUS:
And all those hopeful nights will haunt me with where they won’t lead.
I’ll say my prayers and hope that you cradle me close as I sleep
and lie to me.

VERSE 2:
So hold me back from saying all the things I wanna find.
An arm’s length from your fears—enough to keep them out of mind—
and forget the truths I’d hoped we’d see.
And we’ll soldier on separately.

CHORUS:
And all those hopeful nights will haunt me with where they won’t lead.
I’ll say my prayers and hope that you cradle me close as I sleep
and lie to me.

VERSE 3:
Confide in me your feelings and I’ll slowly swallow mine.
Say you’ve let me go—I will believe it over time,
and never look back on what we could be.
And still somehow wishing you’d lie to me.
