Sweet Lie

(álbum: Modern World - 2019)

I never know
How to walk away from you
Every time
That you come around me
Tryna be on my best behavior
I don't know how to be your savior

'Cause even if I try
Even if you took my call
You would still put up a wall
Even if I gave my all
Even if I fight
Even at the curtain call
There's no better place to fall
Even if I gave my all

'Cause I can't leave it
Honey I can't leave it now

When we make love
We both know
This ain't real life
It's a sweet lie
When we make love
Just to feel something
This ain't real life
It's a sweet lie

(It's a sweet, sweet lie
Sweet, sweet lie)

I never know
What I wanna say to you
Time and time and time again
We like to play pretend
I could never find another place
Everywhere I look I see your face

'Cause even if I try
Even if you took my call
You would still put up a wall
Even if I gave my all
Even when I deny it
Even at the curtain call
There's no better place to fall
Even if I gave my all

'Cause I just need it
Honey I just need it now

When we make love
We both know
This ain't real life
It's a sweet lie
When we make love
Just to feel something
This ain't real life
It's a sweet lie

(It's a sweet, sweet lie
Sweet, sweet lie
It's a sweet, sweet lie
Sweet, sweet lie)

It's been a while
I wonder if we're ever gonna touch again
And it's hard to bear
The feeling that we made it past the end

'Cause I can't leave it
Honey I can't leave it now

When we make love
We both know
This ain't real life
It's a sweet lie
When we make love
Just to feel something
This ain't real life
It's a sweet lie

(It's a sweet, sweet lie
Sweet, sweet lie)

You gave me nothing
I gave you nothing
You gave me nothing
I gave you nothing
