Lie to Me
Lance James Lyrics

I know I'm losin' you
I am aware that you are slipping away from me.

I feel it all the time
I sense it constantly.

And I know if I lose you
If you leave me, I understand that the consequence will be dire.

Then I'll lose my mind
I will become insane.

So lie to me
Please deceive me.

Make me believe everything you say
Convince me of the absolute truth of every word that emanates from your mouth.

Just lie, lie, lie, lie
Please keep telling me untruths; I don't mind.

I'd rather have it that way
I prefer it this way; it will prove less painful in the long run.

Nobody told me you were cheating
I discovered on my own that you might be unfaithful.

Aw it's just a feeling I had
It's just an intuition that I possessed.

So if I'm right
In case my assumption is correct.

You got to lie to me
You must continue deceiving me.

Then I won't feel so bad
This way, I will avoid mental anguish.

Because the truth would only hurt me
The truth has the potential to cause severe emotional pain.

And that price is too big to pay
The cost of the truth's revelation to me would prove exorbitant.

So lie to me
Once again, please tell me untruths.

I'd rather have it that way
I continue to express my liking for falsehood in this situation.

Now you may think I'm foolish
It's possible that you regard me as foolish.

For saying what I said
For expressing the above opinions.

But the truth could mean I'd lose you
The truth has the potential to result in the loss of our relationship.

So tell me a little lie instead
For this reason, please switch to gently lying to me.

Tel me that you love me
Claim that you love me.

And I'll believe every word you say
I will accept your statement at face value, with no doubts or questions.

Even if you lie, lie, lie, lie
Despite an incessant stream of untruths from you.

I'd rather have it that way
I insist on this course of action, even though it clearly lacks veracity.
