Lie To Me

(album: Silver Linings - 2020)

What's wrong with the world today?
Can I get anybody on my page?
Count down till I lose my mind
Not a shred of faith inside
Still spelling out what went wrong
Pick up the pieces and just move on
Two drinks and I'm on my way
To a place where I'm not afraid

One simple lesson learned
The flames we hold the closest burn the worst

Say you need me one more time
Tell me there's more that connects us
Than the days we've left behind
Lie to me just one more time
Tell me you can't go on without me
I'll pretend that I'll be fine, I'll be fine

Relive what I've been put through
Have I got nothing else better to do?
Just watch from my own sidelines
Think of what I'm gonna change next time
Jump in, buckle up, let's go
See the places we should get to know
I need a chaser when I swallow my pride
And find a way to make it out alive

One simple lesson learned
The flames we hold the closest burn the worst

Say you need me one more time
Tell me there's more that connects us
Than the days we've left behind
Lie to me just one more time
Tell me you can't go on without me
I'll pretend that I'll be fine, I'll be fine

More years with little meaning
Fractions of my life repeating
Feels like it takes forever
Breaking off from one another
Losing count of all the times
I put you first and left myself behind

Say you need me one more time
Tell me there's more that connects us
Than the days we've left behind
Lie to me just one more time
Tell me you can't go on without me
I'll pretend that I'll be fine
Say you won't go on without me
I'll pretend that I'll be fine
I'll be fine
