Lie

[Verse 1]
It's been six months and seven days
And well, twenty-three hours
Not that I'm counting every moment
I feel like I'm drowning
But it makes sense that our old friends thought we'd both come
They thought I was over
But now that I'm close to you it's clear that I'm not really over

[Chorus]
You ask me how I'm feeling
But you can see past that lie of the old fake smile that I hide behind
And I know that I can't say I'm sorry
For all the wasted love and the broken trust that we left behind
So we talk about the weather
We talk about our friends
We talk about anything but what wе're thinking
So you ask me how I'm feeling and I'll lie

[Verse 2]
Try to find out in subtlе ways if you're still alone now
But he's texting your phone now
There's that smile that I used to bring out
I don't mention the empty bed that I lie awake in
That I sleep with mistakes in to hide my heartache
To cover the pain with

[Chorus]
You ask me how I'm feeling
But you can see past that lie of the old fake smile that I hide behind
And I know that I can't say I'm sorry
For all the wasted love and the broken trust that we left behind

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And I try to pretend that I'm happy (Try to pretend that I'm happy)
But my heart still breaks and I see your face if I close my eyes

[Chorus]
Oh, so please, don't ask me how I'm feeling
'Cause you won't believe that lie of the old fake smile that it hides behind
So we talk about the weather
We talk about our friends
We talk about anything but what we're thinking
So you ask me how I'm feeling and I'll lie
