Let Me Lie
(Verse One)
I'm okay, that’s the first one
Please don't watch me plaster on a smile
I'll crack a joke so you’ll start laughing
A couple feet disguised as a mile
(Pre Chorus)
It's better for you if I push you away
If I keep you far, there's less here to unsay
(Chorus)
The reason why I said goodbye
Is so you'll never feel my pain
The tortured lore from this bathroom floor
Is I'm still washing out the stains
(Break)
I'll be fine
Just let me lie
(Post Chorus)
Lie, lie, let me lie
Don't need to know all the pain inside
Lie, lie, let me lie
Don't use your sleeve for my tears to dry
Dry, dry, tears to dry
I’m not okay, it’s hard to deny
Dry, dry, tears to dry
Don't cry for me if I say goodbye
(Verse Two)
I am safe
That’s the worst one
But I say tonight I can be alone
I'll let you sleep
Sorry to scare you
I need to learn you can't be my home
(Pre Chorus)
It's better for you if I push you away
If I keep you far, there’s less here to unsay
(Chorus)
The reason why I said goodbye
Is so you'll never feel my pain
The tortured lore from this bathroom floor
Is I'm still washing out the stains
(Break)
I'll be fine
Just let me lie
(Post Chorus)
Lie, lie, let me lie
Don't need to know all the pain inside
Lie, lie, let me lie
Don't use your sleeve for my tears to dry
Dry, dry, tears to dry
I'm not okay, it's hard to deny
Dry, dry, tears to dry
Don't cry for me if I say goodbye
(Bridge)
I know you don't believe me
But, can I lie anyway
Can you leave me to my own
I say I'll make it through today
It would hurt me if your cried
So can you turn the other cheek
I don't want to play this game
So when I hide, please do not seek
(Pre Chorus)
It's better for you if I push you away
If I keep you far, there's less here to unsay
(Chorus)
The reason why I said goodbye
Is so you'll never feel my pain
The tortured lore from this bathroom floor
Is I'm still washing out the stains
(Break)
No, I'm fine
Why would I lie?
(Post Chorus)
Lie, lie, let me lie
Don't need to know all the pain inside
Lie, lie, let me lie
Don't use your sleeve for my tears to dry
Dry, dry, tears to dry
I'm not okay, it's hard to deny
Dry, dry, tears to dry
Don't cry for me if I say goodbye
