When someone tells you something 'cause it's what you want to hear? It's like this. Edited |
World builds up around her Inside her soul's collapsed Society's walls surround her Lies, her mind lets pass. Shallow lover speaks in code A practiced, over used speech 3 words making promises She knows he'll never keep. Words she's heard a thousand times Sung the verses Heard the lines Of broken people with shattered dreams And mannequin smiles, marionette strings Which deludes their bleak humanity. They sing: "Lie to me baby, tell me you love me. Lie to me baby, tell me I'm your only. Tell me of our future as we avoid the past. Lie to me baby, tell me it will last." Little chiches to childish insults Cute as a button, to fucking whore Oh so funny how times change But the pleas of romantics stay the same: "Lie to me baby, tell me you love me. Lie to me baby, tell me I'm your only. Tell me of our future as we avoid the past. Lie to me baby, tell me it will last." No one reads between the lines 'cause their to busy trying to find meaning in words above and beneath them No one really cares to see I'm wrong for you and you're wrong for me As long as we keep holding on and smiling. Baby can't you see my strings? Take your words and cut me free! Careful so I don't lose faith to fast... And we'll keep singing hopelessly until time fades to black: "Lie to me baby..." |
