Just Lie Until I'm Gone

Verse 1

Tell me I'm pretty

Even when I know I'm a mess

Wrap me in your fiction

Every word a sweet caress

Pre-Chorus

I don't need the daylight

I don't need the truth

Just give me something heavy

Something I can sink my teeth into

Chorus

Keep on lying to me baby

Don't you ever let it stop

The truth would break me open

And I'd shatter on the spot

Keep on lying through your teeth

I'll believe every single one

Your honest words would kill me

So just lie until I'm gone

Verse 2

You caught me at the mirror

Staring at my own mistakes

Tell me I'm the only one

Even when my whole world shakes

Pre-Chorus

I don't need the morning

I don't need the light

Just hold me in the darkness

And tell me everything's alright

Chorus

Keep on lying to me baby

Don't you ever let it stop

The truth would break me open

And I'd shatter on the spot

Keep on lying through your teeth

I'll believe every single one

Your honest words would kill me

So just lie until I'm gone

Bridge

Silk and shadows

Soft and cruel

I'm the one who made the rules

Don't you dare be real with me

Reality's the enemy

So whisper sweet

And hold me tight

I'll sleep better in your lies tonight

Drop

(Just lie to me)

(Just lie to me)

(Just lie)

Chorus

Keep on lying to me baby

Don't you ever let it stop

The truth would break me open

And I'd shatter on the spot

Keep on lying through your teeth

I'll believe every single one

Your honest words would kill me

So just lie until I'm gone
