Tell me lies (I need them)

Your words dissolve like pills in my drink  
Don’t heal a thing, just slow the sink  
I swallow every half-truth clean  
Like I don’t know what you mean  

You hold me like it’s leased, not owned  
Something warm but overthrown  
Say my name like it might stay  
Then back away before the day

[Pre-Chorus]
Truth is heavy, lies are light  
I can carry those all night  
If love’s just a borrowed sound  
Let it play till it drowns out

[Chorus - looped]
Tell me lies, tell me lies  
I don’t care if it’s true tonight  
Say you’re mine, say you’re mine  
Even if it dies in the light

I don’t need proof, I need rest  
I don’t need more, I need less  
So I fold my doubts real neat  
Leave ’em on the floor with my jeans  

Morning always ruins us  
Sunlight’s such a fucking snitch  
So I close my eyes at two-oh-one  
And choose the dark I’m in

[Chorus - looped]
Tell me lies, tell me lies  
I don’t care if it’s true tonight  
Say you’re mine, say you’re mine  
Even if it dies in the light

[Bridge]
If you meant it, I’d be gone  
If you lied, I could hold on  
So don’t confess, don’t make it real  
Just tell me what I wanna feel

[Final Chorus - strip the drums - last line trails off and echos]
Tell me lies… tell me lies…  
Say it slow, don’t make me cry  
Just tonight… just tonight…  
Let the truth wait till the light
