You tell me lies, lies, lies - sweet little lies
When I cannot bear the truth
You tell me lies, lies, lies - sweet little lies
Help me make them all come true

Tell me that the rain wont' fall today
Tell me that the tax man lost his way
Tell me that the hurtin' ain't gonna hurt no more
Tell me that somebody stopped the war

You tell me lies, lies, lies - sweet little lies
When I cannot bear the truth
You tell me lies, lies, lies - sweet little lies
Help me make them all come true

Tell me that the whole world's wonderful
Tell me that the bank account's too full
Tell me that we all got plenty of time, time, time
Tell me that I ain't gonna lose my mind

You tell me lies, lies, lies - sweet little lies
When I cannot bear the truth
You tell me lies, lies, lies - sweet little lies
Help me make them all come true

And you know I'm just a man
With my heart in my hand
You tell me things at home
When ghosts wont' leave me alone
Even when I got no plans
Or I'm on the run from the man
You just hold on to me
You just hold on to me

Every time I need a prayer
Every time I need to share
Every time I needed someone to hold on to

You tell me lies, lies, lies - sweet little lies
When I cannot bear the truth

You tell me lies, lies, lies - sweet little lies
Help me make them all come true
Help me make them all come true
