Lie to Me

If it's really, really bad news

I don't want to know

Cause I could never handle it

I'm not ready to go

Right now I just might have to stay here

In this frightened state

If I could only feel alright

Well then I'd feel great

Lie to me, lie to me

Now's not the time for honesty

Suddenly Now's not the time for revelation

Lie to me

I've never been so petrified,

I just might suffocate

But waiting might be better than

Knowing what is my fate

My heart is beating in my throat

Don't know what's behind the door

My trembling hand won't turn the knob

I'm afraid of what's in store

Lie to me, lie to me

Perhaps there's really nothing wrong

But if there is just play along

Lie to me

Lie like I have a choice

Pretend there's nothing wrong

Lie with your soothing voice

Smile and play along

So if it's really bad news

I don't want to know

Cause I don't know what I'd do

I'm not ready to go

Maybe I'm just paranoid

Don't want to overreact

Underneath I ask myself

Is it fiction or is it fact?

Lie to me, lie to me

Eventually I'll be ready

For the truth but now I'm unsteady

Lie to me

Lie to me, lie to me, lie to me, lie to me
