Tell Me a Lie - The Downtown Fiction

My head is tangled up in knots another heart you left to rot

You left your letter by the phone that read you’re never coming home

Those things you won’t concede they keep me on my knees

And now I start to buckle at the seams

Could you tell me a lie, lie

'Cause I don’t want to hear those words tonight, tonight

'Cause I can’t take the truth, baby give it a try

I’ve seen it a thousand times

I know those lips can lie

Could you tell me a lie, lie

'Cause I can’t take

I can’t take the truth from you, from you

I watched our castle turn to dust

Just one more girl that I can’t trust

Those things you won’t confess, no need to second guess

You broke my back and now there’s nothing left

Could you tell me a lie, lie

'Cause I don’t want to hear

Those words tonight, tonight

'Cause I can’t take the truth

Baby, give it a try, I’ve seen it a thousand times

I know those lips can lie

Could you tell me a lie, lie

'Cause I can’t take, I can’t take the truth

Could you tell me a lie, lie

'Cause I can’t take it, I can’t

Could you tell me a lie, lie

'Cause I can’t take the truth

Baby, give it a try, I’ve seen it a thousand times

I know those lips can lie

Could you tell me a lie, lie

'Cause I can’t take, I can’t take the truth from you
