Lie Lyrics

You whispered that that you were getting tired
Got a look in your eye, looks a lot like goodbye
Hold on to your secrets tonight
Don't want to know, I'm okay with this silence
It's truth that I don't want to end

You're hiding regret in your smile
There's a storm in your eyes I've seen coming for a while
Hang on to the past tense tonight
Don't say a word, I'm okay with the quiet
The truth is gonna change everything

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be all right
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye
Lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie

I know that there's no turning back
If we put too much light on this, we'll see through all the cracks
Let's stay in the dark one more night
Don't want to know, I'm okay with the silence
It's truth that I don't want to end

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be all right
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
So look me in the eye
And lie, lie, lie

Don't want to believe in this ending
Let the cameras roll on, keep pretending
Tomorrow's all wrong if you walk away
Just stay

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be all right
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie

So lie to me and tell me that we're gonna be okay
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the day
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye
Lie, lie, lie

i cannot believe that i am the first person to comment on this song!!

it's definitely one of my favorites off of the c.d.

i think its about this guy who knows the relationship is going to end and sees a "storm" coming in her eyes but he wants her to lie to him and pretend that every thing's o.k. between them until morning. "Hang on to the past tense tonight"

I agree with buttnugget. It's such an amazing song.

I think it's about him in this relationship that he knows is losing it's fire. He knows the girl is losing interest and he can see it clearly. But he knows it's going to kill him inside, and he'd rather live with the ignorance and pretend like everything's going to be okay because it's just too painful to face the reality that the one he loves is leaving him.

Very beautiful. :) It's such a relatable song.
