Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rumour has it that your daddy's comin' down, he's gonna pay the rent
Tell me, baby, is this as good as this life is gonna get?
It feels like there's a stranger who's standing in these shoes
But I know I can't lose me 'cause then I'd be losin' you
[Verse 2]
I know I promised, baby, I would be the one to make our dreams come true
I ain't too proud of all the struggles and the hard times we've been through
When this cold world comes between us, please tell me you'll be brave
'Cause I can realize the danger when forgiveness fades away
[Chorus]
If you don't love me, lie to me
'Cause, baby, you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now, if you don't love me, baby, lie to me
[Verse 3]
Pour another cup of coffee, babe, I got somethin' to say to you
I don't wanna die no more
But I ain't got the winnin' ticket, not the one that's gonna pull us through
I don't wanna die no more
No one said that it'd be easy, let your old man take you home
But know if you walk out on me, that darling, I'd be gone
[Chorus]
If you don't love me, lie to me
'Cause, baby, you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now, if you can't love me, baby, lie to me
[Bridge]
Baby, I can take it
[Bridge]
It's a bitch, yeah, life's a roller coaster ride
The ups and downs will make you scream sometimes
It's hard believin' that the thrill is gone
But we gotta go around again, so let's hold on
[Chorus]
If you don't love me, lie to me
'Cause, baby, you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now, if you can't love me, baby, lie to me
[Outro]
Go on, lie to me
Baby, I can take it
Come on, lie to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Go on, lie to me
Go on, lie to me
Lie to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Go on, lie to me
Tell me everything's gon' be alright
Come on, get me through the night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
