The Lie

(Dylan Rice)
"THE LIE" lyrics

Music and lyrics © Dylan Rice

I saw the lie on your lips
hot and burning bright like a soldering iron
You thought that I asked for this
necessary lie because my love was blind

You don't owe me the lie
You don't owe me the lie
You don't owe me, owe me, the lie, the lie, tonight
But I'm taking the lie
I am taking the lie
I am taking, taking, the lie

Bear no shame, I know we needed the lie
Bear no shame I know we needed the lie
Bear no shame, I know the lie needed you and me
You don't owe me the lie
You don't owe me the lie, the lie, tonight

Tasting the lie with my kiss
a sweet-hot-sugar-fire
it sustained me awhile
You thought the lie was your gift
But I'm taking what's mine all the time
If you don't make the lie, we won't sleep tonight
If I don't take the lie, we blow up, up, up my darling
A necessary lie, to keep our world all right
A necessary lie, that's our bliss

You don't owe me the lie
You don't owe me the lie
You don't owe me, owe me, the lie, the lie, tonight
But I'm taking the lie
I am taking the lie
I am taking, taking, the lie

Bear no shame, I know we needed the lie (4X)
Bear no shame, I know the lie needed you and me
You don't owe me the lie
You don't owe me the lie
I take what's mine
