Lovely Lies

You lit a candle

Said you hated the dark

But you stumble home at midnight

On your neck a lover's mark

You kissed my shoulder

Like you'd never depart

Phone face down on the table

As you tore me apart

Why did you lie?

Was I a game to you?

Why am I the fool who loves you like I do?

Now I don't believe a thing

Or the tears running down your face

Oh so darling, don't cry

Just tell me lovely lies

You acted strange

Stories always changed

I don't know

Turned it right around like I'm the one in the wrong

Told me I've been distant

Honey, we both know

The only thing between us was the truth you never showed

But why did you lie?

Was I a game to you?

Why am I the fool who loves you like I do?

Now I don't believe a thing

Or the tears running down your face

Oh so darling, don't cry

Just tell me lovely lies

You swore I was your only one

While he hit repeat all night long

Different face in the same old bed

I believed every word you said

Why do you lie?

Am I just a game to you?

All these years you say was always just us two

But I don't trust a word you say

Or the tears running down your cheek

Oh so darling, don't cry

Don't weep

Just wipe those eyes and tell me lovely lies
