The Way You Lie

You say you love me softly

Like you’re scared I’ll disappear

But I can hear the distance Every time you pull me near

You’ve gotten good at smiling

When you’re hiding something wrong

I’ve gotten good at knowing

When the truth won’t last too long

I hate the way you lie

But I love the way you hold me I hate the way

you leave

Then come back like you know me You tell me I’m the

only one Then look me in the eye

I don’t know what’s worse Loving you

Or the way you lie

There’s a suitcase by the doorway That neither one of us will

touch

Maybe we’re both afraid Of admitting this is too much

You kiss me like tomorrow

Isn’t waiting down the hall

But every beautiful promise

Has another crack beneath it all

If you’re gonna break me (break me)

Break me clean

Don’t leave me somewhere

In

between

I hate the way you lie

And I hate that I believe you I hate the way you

leave

And I hate that I still need you You tell me I’m

the only one Then look me in the eye Maybe what hurts

most

Is knowing

I knew the whole time

I knew the whole time (mmmmm)
