Lies
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're never gonna love me
So what's the use?
What's the point in playing
A game you're gonna lose?
What's the point of saying
You love me like a friend?
What's the point of saying
It's never gonna end?
You're too proud to say that you've made a mistake
You're a coward to the end
I don't wanna admit that we're not gonna fit
No, I'm not the type that you like
Why don't we just pretend?
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh
I can't let you go, can't let you go, oh
I just want it to be perfect
To believe it's all been worth a fight
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh
You only ever touch me
In the dark
Only if we're drinking
Can you see my spark
And only in the evening
Could you give yourself to me
Cause the night is your woman
And she'll set you free
You're too proud to say that you've made a mistake
You're a coward to the end
I don't wanna admit that we're not gonna fit
No, I'm not the type that you like
Why don't we just pretend?
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh
I can't let you go, can't let you go, oh
I just want it to be perfect
To believe it's all been worth a fight
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh
Deep down, I knew that you were never right for me
But now, I see you walking around with that girl
And I know, baby, know now, We’re not meant to be
You were not meant for me, ‘cause I'm too proud
If I'm not number one, then I’d rather be lonely
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh
I can't let you go, can't let you go, oh
I just want it to be perfect
To believe it's all been worth a fight
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh
