Tell Me a Lie Lyrics

Uh

What if you, what if I, what if you

Mm

Tell me a lie

Just tell me a lie mhm

Tell me a lie

But tell me it quickly 'fore I lose my mind

Cause I ain't the best at accepting the parting but I got a mask that can show you indifference

I got a problem with loving my present conditions so often it's why I go missing

Know if I do keep on digging look into myself I'm gon' find everything that I fear

Look what we have here, some gold that don't glisten

All my contradictions just floating in tears can you

Uh

Just tell me that all this a lie

Confidence thinning when I'm in the thick of it

Thought you was always gon' be by my side can you

Mm

Uh

Tell me a lie

Cause from yo lips only way I'll believe it

I thought you was always gon' be by my side

I thought it was honest, well honesty too overrated

I'll lie in this bed with yo lies

Been known the truth and it's typically showed me that everyone always put on a disguise

I've had a problem with seeking out others for love with the hopes that one day they'd provide

But to be honest don't think I'ma leave it behind

Come over and tell me I'm fine and just

Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on

Mm

Tell me a lie

Just tell me a lie mhm

Tell me a lie

But tell me it quickly 'fore we outta time

Runnin' from proof, if I found it I knew it would mean my beliefs and the truth would collide

Running from hollow mirrors cause the fear of my depths is what keeps me from lookin' inside

And add on to that, dereliction of trauma unpacked cause we know "men ain't suppose to cry"

Sad faces questioned but smiles never bothered

They don't hit the same and no one bats an eye

I've studied this throughly, act extroverted so nobody questions what I have to hide

Accountability suffers when dissonance lingers, the burden of carrying two lives

But heavy as is, ignorance comes with bliss, I fake it to make it I might as well try

Until I escape what they tell me to find which is freedom but I think I'm safer encaged in my mind

Mm

So tell me a lie

Tell me that all this gets better, forecasting the weather gon' somehow prepare me to die

No tell me a lie

Mm

Tell me a lie

Tell me that this wouldn't be going better if I didn't lie and you stayed by my side

No tell me a lie

Mm

Don't spare me the time

In fact, take it all cause the feeling is mutual

Lie to myself, so with you? no surprise

So tell me a lie

Mm

Tell me a lie

Tell me a lie and I'll tell you one bigger

We go back and fourth 'till the ground where we lie

So tell me a

Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on
