Living a Lie

Lie to me, tell me you love me

Tell me I'm worth it

Make me believe it

Show me a path that isn't so dark

Give me a light to shine my way

Say you won't leave me when the fire burns out

Tell me you're happy just the way I am

Make me believe our life is no sham

Give me a lie to keep me alive

To keep our flame burning

Tell me you'll strive

To keep what he have is not just a lie

Make me believe you'll love me till the day we die
