Lie if you have to

find another word she said
I'm so tired of being afraid
write me a letter
explain to me how dreams are made

she said sing me a song
paint me a rainbow with words
make me forget every yesterday
convince me that my prayers were heard

speak to me in riddles
give me something to misconstrue
tell me that you love me
lie if you have to

well find another word she said
I'm so tired of being crazy
mix me up a magic potion
to make it all dark and hazy

and then speak to me in riddles
give me something to misconstrue
tell me that you love me
darlin lie if you have to

cause all that matters is now
I'm not looking to build a fortress
I don't want all the silk and glitter
only a place to wear my new dress

so find another word she said
I'm so tired of being strange
there's only a few hours left today
it's too late for me to try to change

speak to me in riddles
give me something to misconstrue
tell me that you love me
darlin lie if you have to
tell me that you love me
lie if you have to
