Tell Me A Lie

I know just what you are thinking, it's written there in your eyes
they are the words of a lover when love dies - oh, please don't say them
I don't believe that it's over, I won't accept that it's true
and if it must be deception, that will do

tell me a lie, tell me you love me, something designed to deceive
tell me a lie, tell me you love me, tell me and I will believe
because I want to believe

I don't care what are your reasons for your not wanting to stay
I only know that I must stand in your way, to keep you with me
I'm too afraid at the prospect of my relinquishing you
to entertain that this love-affair is through

tell me a lie, tell me you love me, something designed to deceive
tell me a lie, tell me you love me, tell me and I will believe
because I want to believe

try now to pretend you won't let it end, you won't break it up
let the fiction be that you still love me, go on, make it up

tell me a lie, tell me you love me, something designed to deceive
tell me a lie, tell me you love me, tell me and I will believe
because I want to believe
