La La Lie - Basia Bulat

Day or night

Friendly or fire

Doesn’t feel right to me

I can keep up

Even though I won’t feel alright for weeks

Never mind, don’t pretend we know the meaning

Don’t look up

Try not to see that I’m leaving

When I say that I don’t need help

And I promise I will be fine

Oh, I la-la-la-lie, la-la-la-lie, la-la-lie to myself

Can you look me straight in the eye?

There’s a story for every time

And you la-la-la-lie, la-la-la-lie, la-la-lie to yourself

Day and night

You need advice

Don’t get caught up with me

Burden of proof

I’m not confused

I wasn’t even here

Never mind, don’t pretend we know the meaning

Don’t look down

Try not to see that you’re bleeding

You can say that you don’t need help

Can you look me straight in the eye?

Can you la-la-la-lie, la-la-la-lie, la-la-lie to yourself

I can promise myself tonight

I rehearsed and I know my lines

I can lie, lie, lie, la-la-la-lie, la-la-la-lie to myself

Oh, I la-la-la-lie, la-la-la-lie

Keep lying to myself

Can you la-la-la-lie, la-la-la-lie

Keep lying to yourself

No, I know that I don’t need help

There’s a story for every time

Oh, I la-la-la-lie, la-la-la-lie, la-la-lie to myself

I can la-la-la-lie, la-la-la-lie

Keep lying to myself

Can you lie, lie, lie, la-la-la-lie

Keep lying to yourself?

La-la-la-lie, la-la-la-lie, la-la-lie to yourself
