Lie To Me

Take this love
rattling round in a heart
smooth out all the imperfections
or tear it all apart

I've got my down sides
and oh I know that you do too
when we thought it over
there was nothing we could do

When there's no dreams left to dream
and no easy way out to see
lie to me
and tell me you still love me

So take this love
and the shape of a heart
redefine every ugly truth
and make a new start

I've been knocked around
yeah I've got my scars
I've crawled for your love
but I never got very far

I've had some sweet love
and oh I know that you have too
when I look back now
I was such a happy fool

When there's no dreams left to dream
and no easy way out to see
lie to me
and tell me you still love me

And there's no words left to say
we've said it all yesterday
lie to me
and tell me that you'll stay

Take this love
rattling round in a heart
live with all the imperfections
or tear it all apart

Even if they lie to us we will accept it for the truth . . . Just please stay.
