Lie A Little

(album: Elephant In The Room - 2020)

I can't let you go
I can't tell you no
I'm like Romeo
That's who I want you to know

But I've been leading you on
It's lasting for way too long
Act like it's nothing but you like a puppet and string it along

Don't wanna let you down
Let you down
Even if I see that it's coming
See that it's coming
Save that shit for someone else
Someone else
Cause I'm just too damn weak to confront it
Too weak to confront it

I'm gonna tell you what you wanna hear
I'm gonna make your problems disappear
So I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little

Look, I don't wanna cause no drama
I don't wanna end my phase with a comma
Fighting with no end in sight, serious
Fighting is not my shit, period

A lot of people can't handle the truth
I'm not taking the chance that it's different with you
I'm gonna tell you everything is alright
Cause I don't feel like you crying tonight

Don't wanna let you down
Let you down
Even if I see that it's coming
See that it's coming
Save that shit for someone else
Someone else
Cause I'm just too damn weak to confront it
Too weak to confront it

I'm gonna tell you what you wanna hear
I'm gonna make your problems disappear
So I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little

Not gonna tell you how I feel today
Wish it was easier for me to say
So I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little

I feel like I'm back out
But I'm feeling good in those lies
Suppose I'd rather make it last than cut ties
Don't try shoulda but I shut up
Thinking that I just might slip but I stutter
Trip trip trip while I diss diss diss
Wanna fix this every time I miss miss miss
And I hate myself at least I think
Being honest is not my thing

I'm gonna tell you what you wanna hear
I'm gonna make your problems disappear
So I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little

Not gonna tell you how I feel today
Wish it was easier for me to say
So I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
