tell me a lie

The Downtown Fiction

My head is tangled up in knots,
Another heart you left to rot.
Could you tell me all, could you tell me,
Tell me you don't want me anymore
You left your letter by the phone
That read your never coming home
Could you lead me on, could you lead me,
Leave me lying just stay on the phone

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,
Can 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 turned 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,
Can 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
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,
Can you tell me a lie, lie
Cause I can't take, I can't take the truth
From you
