Lie To Me Lyrics

I’m twenty-one, and never been so alone
Got so much left to say
But there’s so much that you’ll never know
I’ve heard you’ve ended up fine
And I bet I don’t cross your mind
But I swear these days I just can’t get you off mine

I will never get back the time that I spent
Laying awake fighting the thoughts in my head
Wishing you’d feel what I felt
I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t do anything
I’ll throw my wallet down a well, now watch me beg for change

I won’t ever tell you, if you don’t ever ask
But I hope that I forget you, that the memories don’t last
Sometimes I wanna talk for a while
But I can’t bring myself to pick up the phone
I can’t pretend you’re alone
I’ll live with the choices I’ve made
Only myself I can blame
For choking up when I tried to say:

Let me change who I am for you
I’d give up breathing for one day in his place
I can feel, you forget me like I was a dream
And it hurts
So save your breath, or lie to me
And tell me everything’s gonna change
I’m sick of honesty
And I can’t handle the truth these days
So I’ll wait forever
How could i have been a better man?
If actions speak louder than words then I’ll be deafening
My eyes are burning. Wish there was another way
I’m slowly learning that nothing can ever stay the same

Let me change who I am for you
I’d give up breathing for one day in his place
I can feel, you forget me like I was a dream
And it hurts
So save your breath, or lie to me
And tell me everything’s gonna change
I’m sick of honesty
And I can’t handle the truth these days
So I’ll wait forever

What can he do that I can’t?
He’s got a pocket full of money
When all I could do was hold your hand
I can’t escape from the thought that
I’m not enough, I never was
Forget me
Out of sight but not out of mind
And all the while I’ll be pretending that
I don’t care and I’ll be fine
But I’ll never get the chance to say
‘I swear I’ll miss you ’til death
I hope I see you around some day.’

How to Format Lyrics:
