Lies

(Album: Surfacing - 2019)

There you go with that expression
Talking 'bout what you expecting
Like I'm s'posed to make an exception
And watch you move at your discretion
Lately, you say I've been selfish
Too slow to answer your message
You say I be keeping you stressing
And now you keep asking me questions

Do you really love me like you say you do?
Or just love to fuck me 'til I make it through

Tell me what you want, I want to hear it
Tell me what I know's already clear
Tell me just enough to keep me near
Tell me lies, tell me lies (Tell me)

Guessing my way through suspicions
About the way we keep pretending
Like everything's good and not ending
It's pushing me over my limit
I will not make your decisions
But I will not deal with indifference
And I will not be left defenseless
So you can break me before bending

Say what you say 'bout how you need your space
'Til you texting me late and you ask me to stay
Doing more than it takes tryna have it both ways
In the face of space that we cannot occupate
Or admit that the primal intent we dismissed as a tryst still exists and it turned into this
So let me ask you again...

"Do you really love me like you say you do?
Or just love to fuck me 'till I make it through"

Tell me what you want, I want to hear it
Tell me what I know's already clear
Tell me just enough to keep me near
Tell me lies, tell me lies (Tell me)
Tell me what you want, I want to hear it
Tell me what I know's already clear
Tell me just enough to keep me near
Tell me lies, tell me lies

Tell me lies
