No, you can't handle the truth So I start each day telling you good news Tell me you love me and I say it back too But it's only cuz it's what I think I should do Spare your feelings Spare your heart Give no reasons, leave no scars Keep it simple why's it gotta be hard? It's better to lie Sometimes you got a lot to say but you keep it inside Sometimes honesty and coming clean's worse And I know that I'm choosing between what's easy and what's right But sometimes (Sometimes) It's better to lie Know it's wrong and I'm not proud Sugarcoat and I hope that you don't find out Always scared to leave a bitter taste in your mouth Cuz I never have and I'm not gonna start now Spare your feelings Spare your heart Give no reasons, leave no scars Keep it simple why's it gotta be hard? It's better to lie Sometimes you got a lot to say but you keep it inside Sometimes honesty and coming clean's worse And I know that I'm choosing between what's easy and what's right But sometimes (Sometimes) It's better to lie Sometimes you see it all but you gotta act like ur blind Sometimes being real is only gonna hurt I wish that I could open up and tell you I'm not fine But sometimes (Sometimes) It's better to lie (Sometimes) It's better to lie (Sometimes) It's better to lie
