Tell me a lie,
Tell me I'm pretty,
Say it's the truth,
Say you're not kidding.
Tell me a secret,
That no one else knows,
Say you're a superhero,
Whose mask never shows.
Tell me a joke,
And make me laugh,
Make me forget,
How I went off the path.
Tell me a quote,
One you live by,
That helped you keep going,
When you wanted to die.
Tell me a word,
That you always loved,
So I'll remember you,
When push comes to shove.
Tell me a story,
Of the way things were,
When I cried from happiness,
When I felt so sure.
Tell me a lie,
Tell me you'll never leave,
Say that you love me,
That I'm what you need.
