Tell me a lie I promise that I'll believe Look me in the eye I'm so easily deceived What's the big deal, why make me feel The cold creeping into my heart? Whatever you do, spare me the truth It'll only tear me apart Tell me a lie It wouldn't be your first You won't even have to try I know that you've told me worse Would it be so wrong to just play along And tell me what I'd like to hear? You know that I know that you have to go But you haven't left yet, my dear Tell me a lie But no matter what you say Don't say goodbye 'Til we've gone our separate ways
