Telling Lies by The Parasites Lyrics

Pulled into town today
And if I could, I'd get away
'Cause now that I've stopped running
It seems like my life's caught up with me
This isn't really home at all
Stare at the same four walls
I try to go to sleep
And maybe dream that they are crushing me

I'll tell myself a lie
Say I don't need you here
But I'm afraid that in awhile
It's something that I might believe
I'll try to crack a smile
Say everything's okay
But I'm afraid that if you stay
I'll only drag you down with me

Stay with me, yeah

I remember yesterday
I had to watch you drive away
And if I really try
Then maybе I can see two thousand miles
I know I'll see you
And I hope that I will feel okay
Don't know if I can take it
'Causе it only means you'll leave again
I'll tell myself a lie
Say I don't need you here
But I'm afraid that in awhile
It's something that I might believe
I'll try to crack a smile
Say everything's okay
But I'm afraid that if you stay
I'll only drag you down with me

I am yours
You're not mine
Talk to me sometime
It's okay
When I cry
I can dry my own eyes

Still stuck in town today
And I know when I get away
I'll have a chance to lose myself
And everything that's killing me
And I'll see you again
And I will start to shake, and then
My head'll pound 'til I break down
And I'll have to apologize

I'll tell myself a lie
Say I don't need you here
But I'm afraid that I'll find out
It's something that I can't believe
I'll try to crack a smile
Say everything's okay
But I'm afraid you'll never say
That it's okay to stay with me
I am yours
You're not mine
Talk to me sometime
It's okay
When I cry
I can dry my own eyes
I can dry my own eyes

Stay with me, yeah
Stay awhile
