I see the truth hiding in your smile A quiet whisper dressed in denial Your eyes are oceans but I can't swim Tell me a gentle lie tonight Wrap it in velvet make it feel right I don’t need the truth to break me inside Just give me a gentle lie tonight The stars above don’t care what we say They flicker on like it’s all okay But your hands tremble as they hold mine We’re dancing in shadows that don’t belong Humming the tune of a breaking song Tell me a gentle lie tonight Soft as a feather under moonlight Don’t let the truth tear apart the sky Just give me a gentle lie tonight Call it a dream or call it a game The words don’t matter they hurt the same Paint me a picture where we’re alright Even if it’s gone by morning light
