Can't ever get it right, no matter hard I try and I've tried

Well, I put up a good fight but your words cut like knives
And I'm tired as you break my heart again this time

Reff:

Tell me I'm a screwed up mess that I never listen, listen

Tell me you don't want my kiss that you need your distance, distance

Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missin, baby

If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight

Spare me what you think and tell me a lie

Well, you're the charming type

The little twinkle in your eye gets me every time

And well, there must've been time I was the reason for that smile

So, keep in mind as you take what's left of you and I

Back to Reff

(Oh, oh, oh) tell me a lie

(Oh, oh, oh) tell me a lie

(Oh, oh, oh) tell me a lie

Back to Reff

Tell me a lie, tell me a lie

Tell me a lie, tell me a lie
