Lie a Little

You don't have to say I'm doing great

Just tell her that I'm okay

You don't have to say I'm moving on

Just tell her I get closer every day

You don't have to paint a picture

Some fairy tale fiction she won't believe

Oh, but if you see her, when you talk about me

Could you lie just a little bit?

Give the plain old truth just a little twist

Make it sound a little better than it really is

Make me look like somebody she's gonna miss

When the conversation turns to us

She asks you how l'vе been

Look her in the eyе

And lie just a little bit

You don't have to lead her to believe

That maybe I still want her back

But if there's anyway to let her know

I hope that door's still open just a crack

You ain't got to oversell her

Whatever story that you tell her, just make it good

Not too much, but if you could

Would you lie just a little bit?

Give the plain old truth just a little twist

Make it sound a little better than it really is

Make me look like somebody she's gonna miss

When the conversation turns to us

She asks you how l've been

Look her in the eye

And lie just a little bit

Won't you lie just a little bit?

Just a little white one

Not the great big goodbye one

The kind that never hurt no one

Lie just a little bit

Give the plain old truth just a little twist

Make it sound a little better than it really is

Make me look like somebody she's gonna miss

When the conversation turns to us

She asks you how l've been

Look her in the eye

And lie just a little bit

Lie just a little bit

Lie just a little bit
