I Lie For You

You push me away, then say you're not trying to
after telling me terrible thoughts and me trying to help
crying my eyes out over your struggles
'cause I can't seem to help enough
I guess you don't really need me so much after all
Maybe you don't mean it, but you're growing distant
I can feel it in your words of reassurance that's its not
because of me
I know it's all my fault

So, I, I lie for you
to keep your heart from breaking over my pain
Yes I lie, I lie for you
I don't want to be a burden, and now I don't have to
I'll just smile that smile you love
you won't be able to tell its fake
I never could before, but from now on I'll hide it from you
since you've already got plently to think about
I'll laugh the laugh you think is adorable
Try not to worry, but I'm going insane
You won't have to worry, though I'm losing my way
You won't know that anymore, you don't want to
you don't need to, it's too much to handle
i understand, so I lie for you

You walk toward me, I see that look in your eyes
I say "what's wrong" and you start to cry as you explain
say you don't want to break my heart
but it cracked a little at that moment
I guess 'almost there' wasn't enough to fight for
it's not your fault, it's mine, for causing you grief
I can hear it through the words you send from your phone to
justify
Like always I'm to blame

So, I, I lie for you
to keep your heart from breaking over my pain
Yes I lie, I lie for you
I don't want to be a burden, and now I don't have to
I'll just smile that smile you love
you won't be able to tell its fake
I never could before, but from now on I'll hide it from you
since you've already got plently to think about
I'll laugh the laugh you think is adorable
Try not to worry, but I'm going insane
You won't have to worry, though I'm losing my way
You won't know that anymore, you don't want to
you don't need to, it's too much to handle
i understand, so I lie for you
