It's best to get this situation out on the table We've both been around enough to know desperate when it walks in the room So you're not the one who's gonna turn it all around And I can only help you to get a little more upside down We just call this what it is before it gets to my head Oh, no nevermind, can we just lie to each other instead I know that chances are I wake up and hate both of us tomorrow You know that loving me could never last beyond these walls So don't waste my time with the small talk and the games Give me my distraction, we both know it's why we came If we can't have the one we want, we'll just take we can get Oh, just listen to me, baby, let's lie to each other instead Cause as far as I'm concerned It already hurts to breathe So how much harm could it do To be exactly what you need They'll let you know that I'm a heartache carousel Look em in the eye and tell em it takes one to tell They can give us both advice, but after everything said Oh baby, you and me, we're gonna lie to each other instead Oh baby, you and me, we're gonna lie to each other instead
