​don’t lie to me (acoustic version)

[Songtext zu „don't lie to me (acoustic version)“]

[Verse 1]
You were blind, I know you couldn't see it (see it)
But in the end, it just feels like you've cheated right to my face
You only did what you did for a reason (reason)
You tried to open up, but you were scared to lose what we have

[Pre-Chorus]
Why, why
Did I tell you things that I didn't believe in?
I lied
I tried to protect you by hiding my feelings
We got tied
Up in this lie I created to keep you
On my side
Keepin' it inside of me isn't—

[Chorus]
Don't lie to me
Don't you do what I've done to you
Don't lie to me
I promise I, I know it's bad for you
Don't lie to me
I don't wanna go back to how we both used to be
Oh nah nah, one thing I know
We won't lie 'round here no more

[Verse 2]
I don't know who we think we're deceivin' (deceivin')
Tell me, why does it feel like we need to hide what we are?
We weren't honest and now we're both bleedin' (bleedin')
Let's leave the lies in the past, so we never do it again

[Pre-Chorus]
Why, why
Did I tell you things that I didn't believe in?
I lied
I tried to protect you by hiding my feelings
We got tied
Up in this lie I created to keep you
On my side
Keepin' it inside of me isn't—

[Chorus]
Don't lie to me
Don't you do what I've done to you
Don't lie to me
I promise I, I know it's bad for you
Don't lie to me
I don't wanna go back to how we both used to be
Oh nah nah, one thing I know
We won't lie 'round here no—

[Post-Chorus]
Don't lie to me, don't do what I have done (oh-oh)
Don't lie to me, I'm telling you, it's wrong (oh-oh)
Tell the truth, that's all we gotta do (oh-oh)
Oh na na, one thing I know
We won't lie 'round here no—

[Bridge]
I know we can, we can be so much better
Now that we have learned to forgive each other
We only did it this way to save all that we have (all that we have)
It's been hard, but look at us now, us now

[Chorus]
Don't lie to me
Don't you do what I've done to you
Don't lie to me
I promise I, I know it's bad for you
Don't lie to me
I don't wanna go back to how we both used to be
Oh nah nah, one thing I know
We won't lie 'round here no more
