Oh baby how'd it happen
I leave you in the morning
You won't say where your going at night
It would have caused me anger
But now you're such a stranger
That I can on only hold on tight
I just stay quiet and pray for an ending
I won't make you deny it if we just keep on pretending
So lie to me
I'll show you how I love you
When you turn off your phone I'm still dreaming of you
I won't ask where you're going I won't ask where you've been
Just as long as I can see you again
Lying underneath the covers
Gazing at each other
We always think of something else
But our eyes tell the story now I can only worry
How I no longer act like myself
I-I stay so quiet and pray for an ending
I won't make you deny it if you'll just keep on pretending
So lie to me
I'll show you how I love you
When you turn off your phone I'm still dreaming of you
I won't ask where you're going I won't ask where you've been
Just as long as I can see you again

"Liar, Liar"
"You're dress is on fire"
"I'm staring at the bluest telephone wires"
"I guess- I guess I"ll give you a call"
"Hello darling."
"I just wanted to hear, the sound of your voice"
"Because the things you say
Don't matter so much anymore,"
"As long as it's you"
"So go,"
"Do what you do."
OR
"My darling, if words were birds"
"With wings of desire"
"It would flutter up and land"
"Every time your voice carried across a telephone wire,"
"When I hear your voice,"
"My heart has no choice
"But to love you,"
"Even if your words are untrue,"
"Because I'd rather go on hearing your lies,"
"Than to go living without you"
OR
"Oh darling, when I'm getting out of that subway everyday"
"And when I'm waking up each night from those awful dreams"
"Or staring at my phone and that screen and I wonder and,"
"What am I doing looking at this stupid object?"
"I guess it's because I feel that somewhere inside of you
"Beneath these lies,"
"Is something good,"
"Something I can bring back"
"Something- something beautiful"
So lie to me
I'll show you how I love you
When you turn off your phone I'm still dreaming of you
I won't ask where you're going I won't ask where you've been
Just as long as I can see you
'Cause baby I need you
As long as I can see you again
(Even your deepest struggle
Even in your darkest tunnel)
