Lie To Me


You believed

In something

I never trusted

You wanted it

So damn badly

You started something

You hate it

You can't save me

You can't fix this

This hole

If I had known

 

Anyone out there

Can anyone out there

Tell me

It's going to make it

It's going to be okay

Because

I can't wait

Another minute

Don't have it left in me

To fight

Another minute

Through another night

It's never been this cold

Before

Never felt like this

Before

And I know

I can't do this anymore

 

Just lie to me

Tell me

I gave it all I had

My best shot

All I got

Everything in me

Someone

Tell me

I'm not this monster

I see

In the mirror

When you look too closely

Someone

Anyone

Lie to me

Tell me

It's just better off without

Better off

 

Because

Here it is

All I am

All I ever was

Warped and twisted

If I could

I would

But I can't

And I don't know how to fix this

I can't save

Something 

That never existed

And the good in me

Died

Every single time

I lied

So can anyone

Tell me

Lie to me
