True Lies by Jon Asher Lyrics

[Verse]
Don’t let this go to your head
But waking up won't ever get easier
Without you lying here
But we’re lovers before we are friends
So I’m forced to hold on
To the scent, scent, scent of a stranger
While you can move on
I’m a mess, mess
And I can't escape from the high


[Chorus]
The truth hurts
So tell me a lie
Let me believe
There'll be more than tonight
Pretend that you’re here for me
Bring me to life
Don’t let me go
Without telling those
True lies
True lies
[Verse]
Rekindling fires we’ve set
Like I’ve been playing a sympathy symphony
Making it hard to forget
We were lovers before we were friends
Now I’m forced to hold on
To the scent, scent, scent of a stranger
While you can move on
I’m a mess, mess
And I can't deny

[Chorus]
The truth hurts
So tell me a lie
Let me believe
There'll be more than tonight
Pretend that you’re here for me
Bring me to life
Don’t let me go
Without telling those
True lies
True lies

[Bridge]
Ohhh
Ohhh
Whoa
[Chorus]
The truth hurts
So tell me a lie
Let me believe
There'll be more than tonight
Pretend that you’re here for me
Bring me to life
Don’t let me go
Without telling those
True lies
True lies
