Can’t ever get it right
No matter how hard I try
And I've tried
I put up a good fight
But your words cut like knives
And I'm tired
As you break my heart again this time

Tell me I’m a screwed up mess
That I never listen, listen
Tell me you don’t want my kiss
That you’re needing distance, distance

Tell me everything, but don’t you say
She's what you’re missing, baby
If she's the reason that your leaving me here tonight
Spare me what you think and tell me
Tell me a lie

You’re the charming type
That little twinkle in your eye
Gets me every time
And well there must have been a time
I was a reason for that smile
So keep in mind
As you take what's left of you and I

Tell me I’m a screwed up mess
That I never listen, listen
Tell me you don’t want my kiss
That you’re needing distance, distance

Tell me everything, but don’t you say
She's what you’re missing, baby
If she's the reason that your leaving me here tonight
Spare me what you think and tell me
Tell me a lie

Oohh
Tell me, tell me a lie
Tell me, tell me a lie
Tell me a lie

Tell me I’m a screwed up mess
That I never listen, listen
Tell me you don’t want my kiss
That you’re needing distance, distance

Tell me everything, but don’t you say
She's what you’re missing, baby
If she's the reason that your leaving me here tonight
Spare me what you think and tell me
Tell me a lie
