Tell Me A Lie- Griffin House

Dressing my voice up on the phone
underneath the envy rotting my bones.
I’d do anything to get you alone,
if just for awhile.

Blame it on the way that I talk,
you can blame it on the way that I look,
you can blame it on the stuff that I drank,
and the pills that I took.

Tell me a lie,
if it’s true.
Have you done all the things
I never wanted you to?

Baby, is she all that you dreamed?
I think about you every night that I go to sleep.
You’re laying there wrapped up in her arms
how we used to be.

Are you seriously falling in love,
or do you do it just to get back at me?
I deserve to take it, I guess,
I just wish we could be.

Tell me a lie,
if it’s true.
Have I done all the things
I never wanted to do?

I know you hate it when I play you my songs
because there's not one of them when you weren’t involved.
I bet you wish I’d take the issue at hand
and just get it solved.

Tripping myself up on my words
Writing checks that I couldn’t cash
I rip ‘em up and throw ‘em away
Then dig ‘em out of the trash

You won’t believe me if I promise again,
but I’m telling you that I can change.
I’d scream it at the top of my lungs,
but it’s out of my range

Tell me a lie if it’s true.
Have you done all the things
I never wanted you to?
Tell me a lie if it’s true.
Have I done all the things
I never wanted to do?
Have I lost the only chance I had with you?
