Tell Me a Lie

Uh... What if you, what if I, what if you
Mm... Tell me a lie
Just tell me a lie mhm
Tell me a lie
But tell me it quickly 'fore I lose my mind
Cause I ain't the best at accepting the parting but I got a mask that can show you indifference
I got a problem with loving my present conditions so often it's why I go missin'
Know if I do keep on digging, look into myself I'm gon' find everything that I fear
Look what we have here
Some gold that don't glisten, all my contradictions just floating in tears can you... Uh
Just tell me that all this a lie
Confidence thinning when I'm in the thick of it
Thought you was always gon' be by my side, can you... Mm
Uh... Tell me a lie
Cause from yo lips only way i'll believe it
I thought you was always gon be by my side
I thought it was honest, well honesty too overrated
I'll lie in this bed with yo lies
Been known the truth and it's typically showed me that everyone always put on a disguise
I've had a problem with seeking out others for love with the hopes that one day they'd provide
But to be honest don't think I'ma leave it behind
Come over and tell me I'm fine. and just

Lie on, Lie on
Lie on, Lie on
Lie on, Lie on
Lie on, Lie on

Mm... Tell me a lie
Just tell me a lie mhm
Tell me a lie
But tell me it quickly 'fore we outta time
Running from proof, if I found it I knew it would mean my beliefs and the truth would collide
Running from hollow mirrors cause the fear of my depths is what keeps me from looking inside
And add on to that, dereliction of trauma unpacked cause we know "men ain't suppose to cry"
Sad faces questioned but smiles never bothered
They don't hit the same and no one bats an eye
I've studied this thoroughly, act extroverted so nobody questions what I have to hide
Accountability suffers when dissonance lingers, the burden of carrying two lives
But heavy as is, ignorance comes with bliss, I fake it to make it I might as well try
Until I escape what they tell me to find which is freedom, but I think I'm safer encaged in my mind
Mm
Hmm... So tell me a lie. tell me that all this gets better
Forecasting the weather gon' somehow prepare me to die
No tell me a lie... Mm
Tell me a lie. tell me that this wouldn't be going better if I didn't lie and you stayed by my side
No tell me a lie... Mm
Don't spare me the time
In fact take it all cause the feeling is mutual
Lie to myself, so with you? No surprise
So tell me a lie... Mm
Tell me a lie
Tell me a lie and I'll tell you one bigger
We go back and fourth till the ground where we lie
So tell me a

Lie on, Lie on
Lie on, Lie on
Lie on, Lie on
Lie on, Lie on

Lie on, Lie on
Lie on, Lie on
Lie on, Lie on
Lie on, Lie on
