Little Painted Promise

Drop

I will lie to you

I will lie to you

Verse 1

Told you my star sign

Told you my real name

Half of it invented

Half of it the same

Say it with a straight face

Say it til I mean it

Pre-Chorus

Cross my heart and hope to die

Cross my fingers every time

Chorus

I will lie to you

I will lie to you

Sweetly and sincerely

I will lie to you

Little painted promise

Little candy bruise

Baby you can trust me

I will lie to you

Post-Chorus

La la la la lie

La la la la lie

Verse 2

Kept your favorite sweater

Borrowed from a friend

Wrote you seventeen letters

Sent her all of them

I rehearse my honesty

Practice in the mirror

Pre-Chorus

Smile like a birthday

Smile like I'm sorry

Chorus

I will lie to you

I will lie to you

Sweetly and sincerely

I will lie to you

Little painted promise

Little candy bruise

Baby you can trust me

I will lie to you

Post-Chorus

La la la la lie

La la la la lie

Bridge

Spin spin spinning it

Pretty pretty little fib

Maybe maybe maybe

It's true when I say it

Half-believed I'm saving you

Half-believed I'm stuck

Chorus

I will lie to you

I will lie to you

Patient as a heartbeat

I will lie to you

Take it as a kindness

Take it as a joke

Darling you can trust me

I will lie to you

Post-Chorus

La la la la lie

La la la la lie

I will lie to you

I will lie to you
