I want you to lie

It's been many years Since we said We'd take a stand Through sickness and through health But you changed the way You hold my hand I try not to ask If you're hungry After working late But if one night she calls And I can't help But ask you straight I want you to lie Tell me we're good And you still care Show me the ring That you still wear Promise there's no one else you want I don't want it to die I want to keep my fairy tale Save what we found; it was so rare Hope that your love comes back again And until then I want you to lie I don't see the warmth in your eyes That used to smile at me And I miss those days When we used to sit Under our favorite tree I can't sleep at night Smelling perfume that isn't yours or mine Maybe it's not right But I'll fight to make it all fine I see you there rolling your eyes like I'm deaf to the sirens You say, "Run, girl, save yourself from drowning." But this is exactly what I'm doing-saving myself. Because some mornings his eyes are the only thing that feels real I will still be there fighting Because what's there to fight for in this life if not love? I want you to lie Tell me we're good And you still care Show me the ring That you still wear Promise there's no one else you want I don't want it to die I want to keep my fairy tale Save what we found; it was so rare Hope that your love comes back again And until then I want you to lie
