Loving Lies

You save

My abandoned pages out of the trash

Crumpled and covered in cigarette ash

You even keep the ones that make you look bad

I only show up for your disasters

Saying what I think you wanna hear

I’m only useful in my shining armor

But you don’t need a knight you need a partner

So please believe my loving lies

Can’t tell you what it is cause I’m scared to try

Baby just give me some space tonight

Even if it looks like I don’t want it, I want it

Please believe my loving lies

Please believe my loving lies

I always try to make a comeback

And steer the conversation back to your track

But it’s obvious I force it and I fumble

I come across more like a seventh uncle

And when your tank’s on empty

Get your jumper cables and amaze me

It’s dangerous to give how much you’re giving

Wake up to the sound of something breaking

Take me off your mind

Keep me by your side

And please, believe my loving lies

Can’t tell you what it is cause I’m scared to try

Baby just give me some space tonight

Even if it looks like I don’t want it

I want it

Even if it seems like I don’t need it

I need it

Even if it sounds like I don’t mean it

I mean it

Please believe my loving lies

Please believe my loving lies

Somewhere inside
