Lyrics

I tell myself I'll find another lover
‘Cause hell would you just look at me
But when I look in the mirror
You know that ain't nearly close
To what I see

I see past my prime
And every little line
Tells the story ‘round my eyes
Round my eyes

But the truth is
I ain't looking for the truth
Right now I need the lie

I tell myself that I'll be fine even better
All on my own
Like I was when I was younger
Oh, but younger has come and gone

And I can't find that girl who took on the world
No matter how I try
How I try

But the truth is
I ain't looking for the truth
Right now I need the lie

Right now I need the lie
To help me make it thru
To goodbye
And the day that it's all thru true

I tell myself and everybody else
That I'm over you
Then I hurry on to small talk
All the this small talk
They see right thru

But their kind enough to play along
As I act strong
So I won't break down and cry
Down and cry

But the truth is
I ain't looking for the truth
Right now I need the lie
