Sweet Lie

[Verse 1]
I never know how to walk away from you
Every time that you come around me
Trying to be on my best behavior
I don't know how to be your savior
Even if I try, even if you took my call
You would still put up a wall, even if I gave my all
Even if I fight, even at the curtain call
There's no better place to fall, even if I gave my all

[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause I can’t leave it
Honey I can’t leave it, no

[Chorus]
When we make love, we both know
This ain't real life, it's a sweet lie
When we make love, just to feel something
This ain't real life, it's a sweet lie
It's a sweet, sweet lie
Sweet, sweet lie

[Verse 2]
I never know what I want to say to you
Time and time and time again we like to play pretend
I could never find another place
Everywhere I look I see your face
Even if I try, even if you took my call
You would still put up a wall, even if I gave my all
Even when I deny it, even at the curtain call
There’s no better place to fall, even if I gave my all

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I just need it
Honey I just need it, no

[Chorus]
When we make love, we both know
This ain't real life, it's a sweet lie
When we make love, just to feel something
This ain't real life, it's a sweet lie
It's a sweet, sweet lie
Sweet, sweet lie
It's a sweet, sweet lie
Sweet, sweet lie

[Bridge]
It’s been a while
I wonder if we’re ever gonna touch again
And it’s hard to bear
The feeling that we made it past the end

[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause I can’t leave it
Honey I can’t leave it, no

[Chorus]
When we make love (when we make love), we both know
This ain't real life (this ain't real life), it’s a sweet lie (It's a sweet lie)
When we make love (when we make), just to feel something (Just to feel some)
This ain’t real life (this ain't real life), it’s a sweet lie
It's a sweet, sweet lie
Sweet, sweet lie

[Outro]
You gave me nothing
I gave you nothing
You gave me nothing
I gave you nothing
