Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking her Clothes

Those tears are more false than,
Words that tease about your lips.
I've felt so much worse than this,
So imagine I don't know a thing.
It's okay, I can pretend too.
Hold my hand and we'll go inside,
I've found the perfect place to hide,
And you can hold me like you mean it,
Or let lust and intimacy be thankful.
It doesn't matter either way,
Because I'd rather have fake meaning,
Than be alone right now.
I'll lock the world away,
And say goodbye, it's cold out there.
To all that know, this is the scene where,
I let everyone who cares down.
And do you know that, sometimes,
I run to the wrong arms?
But to spare the moment for us both,
I'll fight the urge to turn and wave,
Say goodbye to yesterday,
And run, eyes blind, into tomorrow.
I know that honesty's a simple task,
Just let me tell myself everything,
Everything that I want to hear,
Is that too much to ask?
I guess silence has a voice too,
That's all I'm hearing from you.
I can sense the hesitancy.
So I'll accept it, as if,
It was just meant to be.
There are worse things you could do,
But close your eyes and hide the truth.
And let the shyness speak for itself.
If you're going to say sorry,
For god sake, little boy,
Apologize with conviction.
I'll give you another chance,
There'll be no sad songs for lost love,
These story lines are for the big screen.
We're not the first to fake romance.
