Tell a Lie

I don't like to say goodbye

I prefer to tell a lie

Slip away, no one knows

Keeps it less emotional

But I don't want to say goodnight

You're the best thing in my life

Felt so good, feels so right

Do I see the same in your eyes

Going strong for eight or nine

Months you've let me in your life

But the light's growing dim

Could I be smothering it

Maybe I'm misreading signs

Open and then close the blinds

Tell myself it's alright

And go home in the dying light

And she says

It's been a long long day

But she keeps it vague

Gotta hope that she just needs some time

Then I hear her cry

She won't tell me why

And I think I'm losing my mind

Tracing all the things I've said

Taxonomize consequences

You used to be an open book

Now I'm hardly worth a look

It takes two to play the game

Frustrated each day's the same

Win or lose is not at stake

It's the deepness of her bellyache

I'd rather lose you any day

If it meant you'd address your pain

Of course that's taken the wrong way

Would you care to explain?

And I said

It's been long long year

What are we doing here, when you said

Love is promise we shouldn't've made

But look me in the eye

Do I look I'd lie

About you being the love of my life

But that's how our love goes

And for you and me, it simply goes away

Yeah, that's how our love goes

And for you and me, it simply goes away

I don't like to say goodbye

I prefer to tell a lie

It's alright, its alright

It's alright, it's alright

She'll be fine, she'll be fine

It's alright, it's alright

She'll be fine, we'll be fine
