[Verse 1]
Look in my direction
But I swear you look right through me
We used to fit so perfect
But I guess you just outgrew me
I plan my life around the promises
That we both made
The more it hurts, the more I yearn
My heart is surely swollen

[Pre-Chorus]
And all you do is paint me blue
Remember we were golden?
Maybe numb the pain before you break it
'Cause I can hear the words before you say thеm

[Chorus]
So lie and say you love me
Liе one more time
Stay with me and painfully
Just say we'll be alright
Just lie

[Verse 2]
You're lookin' out the window
While I long for your attention
Was it ever real to you
Or were you just pretendin'
Holdin' onto something that's just water in my hands
I asked her, "Why so suddenly?"
And this is what she told me
[Pre-Chorus]
"It don't feel like dying
When it's happening so slowly"
I can see the end before it happens
Oh, I could bet the audience is laughing

[Chorus]
So lie and say you love me
Lie one more time
Stay with me and painfully
Just say we'll be alright
Just lie

[Bridge]
Tell me we'll go on and on and on forever
Holding onto something better
On and on and on forever
Holding onto something, oh

[Outro]
Stay with me and painfully
Just say we'll be alright
Just lie
