Why Can't You Just Lie To Me?

It's hard to hold myself together
All I do is wait on you
Always being told whenever
Soon enough would be too soon

If only I could bathe in your affection
If only you would be so kind
Sometimes the truth feels like a cancer
I wish you'd tell me that I'm fine

Why can't you just lie to me?
Just hold your breath and bite your tongue
The biggest heroes die unsung
Why can't you just lie to me?
Just hold your breath and bite your tongue
The biggest heroes die unsung
It's easy
It's so easy

Honesty is never harmless
Honesty can hurt you too
Every time you break a promise
I don't need to know the truth

If only I could bathe in your affection
If only you would be so kind
Sometimes the truth feels like a cancer
I wish you'd tell me that I'm fine

Why can't you just lie to me?
Just hold your breath and bite your tongue
The biggest heroes die unsung
Why can't you just lie to me?
Just hold your breath and bite your tongue
The biggest heroes die unsung
It's easy
It's so easy
It's so easy
