[Verse 1]
Don't sleep on the couch again
Even though you took it for the weekend
Kiss me like you wanna stay
Even though you're thinking about leaving
[Pre-Chorus]
Please just fake it
Pretend to look when I'm naked
Don't be honest
Promise me that you want this
Say you're lucky
Say you're lucky to love me like you used to
Even if it isn't true
[Chorus]
I want you to lie, lie right to my face
Want you to put your hands on my waist
Can we just dance 'til the skies are white?
'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want you to
[Verse 2]
Show me there's a future here
Even if you've never really seen it
Tell me when you close your eyes I'm all you see
Even if you don't dream it
[Pre-Chorus]
Please just fake it
Pretend to look when I'm naked
Don't be honest
Promise me that you want this
Say you're lucky
Say you're lucky to love me like you used to
Even if it isn't true
[Chorus]
I want you to lie, lie right to my face
Want you to put your hands on my waist
Can we just dance 'til the skies are white?
'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want you to
[Bridge]
Touch me like you did in the beginning
Baby, just give me another day
Touch me like there isn't something missing
'Cause even if you don't stay
[Chorus]
I want you to lie, lie right to my face
Want you to put your hands on my waist
Can we just dance 'til the skies are white?
'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want you to lie, lie right to my face
Want you to put (Put) your hands on my waist
Can we just dance (Dance) 'til the skies are white?
'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want you to
[Post-Chorus]
Touch me like you did in the beginning
Baby, just give me another day, hmm
Touch me like there isn't something missing
'Cause even if you don't stay
[Outro]
I want you to lie, lie, lie
I want you to lie, lie, lie

It’s mostly about being in denial and not being on the same page as my partner at some point. It’s also about not being able to handle the truth, which I can’t. I live in denial in a lot of ways, which is something I’m trying to get better at as I become an “adult.” You know when you know something’...
I wrote lie after I had left a relationship that was dead for a long time. I realized the last 2 years of it I had been living in denial. It was the first relationship either one of us had been in and I think we knew we weren’t right for each other but didn’t know how to fix it. I kept trying to mak...
The idea for the video came from real life experience. My ex worked a 9-5 and since I had a more flexible schedule I would find myself at home spending a lot of time alone. As our relationship started to deteriorate I found companionship in strangers on the internet. I would go online and get a thri...
I might actually be too empathetic. My mom’s the same way. We take other people’s pain and really feel it for them. When I wrote this, I had just gone through a breakup, and even though I was the one who broke up with him, I felt equally heartbroken, maybe even worse because of the guilt that came w...
