In the throes of heartache, the plea for a comforting deception takes center stage. "Tell Me a Lie" captures the raw vulnerability of someone grappling with the truth of their beloved's departure, driven by another's allure. Rather than face this painful reality, the narrator begs for palatable falsehoods that would spare his heart from further agony. The song weaves a tapestry of denial and desperation, illustrating how sometimes, lies can serve as a temporary salve for emotional wounds too grievous to immediately confront. Through its poignant lyrics and emotive delivery, it underscores the complex dance between truth and deception in matters of love.
Tell Me a Lie
Lyrics
Can't ever get it right
No matter how hard I try
And I've tried
Well, I put up a good fight
But your words cut like knives
And I'm tired
As you break my heart again this time
Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
That I never listen, listen
Tell me you don't want my kiss
That you need your distance, distance
Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missing baby
If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight
Spare me what you think and
Tell me a lie
Well, you're the charming type
That little twinkle in your eye
Gets me every time
And well there must have been a time
I was the reason for that smile
So keep in mind
As you take what's left of you and I
Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
That I never listen, listen
Tell me you don't want my kiss
That you need your distance, distance
Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missing, baby
If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight
Spare me what you think and
Tell me a lie
Tell me a lie
Tell me a lie
Tell me a lie
Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
That I never listen, listen
Tell me you don't want my kiss
That you need your distance, distance
Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missing baby
If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight
Spare me your what you think and
Tell me a lie
Tell me a lie
Tell me a lie
Tell me a lie
Tell me a lie
