call me when your arms are empty
that's the only way it can be
call me when you're full of pretty lies
call me when your eyes are empty
and open all night
you lied enough
open wide enough
to drive a truck straight through
only lie worth telling
is i'm in love with you
only lie worth telling
is i'm in love with you
call me when you think you're leaving
hope you know you're not deceiving me
again just like you think you should
call me when your arms are empty
and open all night
you lied enough
open wide enough
to drive a truck straight through
only lie worth telling
is i'm in love with you
only lie worth telling
is i'm in love with you
if you need someone
to tell everything you've done
then lie to me
i'm the one who can attempt to be your friend
if you need someone
to tell everything you've done
then lie to me
i'm the one who can still pretend
call me when your eyes are empty
and open all night
you lied enough
open wide enough
to drive a truck straight like a knife
only lie worth telling
is i'm in love with you
i'm the only lie worth telling
i'm in love with you
only lie worth telling
i'm the only lie worth telling
