[Verse 1]
I can't let you go
I can't tell you no
I'm like Romeo
That's who I want you to know
But I've been leading you on
It lasted for way too long
Act like it's nothing
Play you like a puppet and string it along

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna let you down
(Let you down)
Even if I see that it's coming
(See that it's coming)
Save that shit for someone else
(Someone else)
'Cause I'm just too damn weak to confront it
(Too weak to confront it)

[Chorus]
I'm gonna tell you what you wanna hear
I'm gonna make your problems disappear
So I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
[Verse 2]
Look, I don't wanna cause no drama
I don't wanna end my phrase with a comma
Fighting with no end in sight, serious
Fighting is not my shit, period
A lot of people can't handle the truth
I'm not taking the chance that it's different with you
I'm gonna tell you everything is alright (Alright)
'Cause I don't feel like you crying tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna let you down
(Let you down)
Even if I see that it's coming
(See that it's coming)
Save that shit for someone else
(Someone else)
'Cause I'm just too damn weak to confront it
(Too weak to confront it)

[Chorus]
I'm gonna tell you what you wanna hear
I'm gonna make your problems disappear
So I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
I’m gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
Not gonna tell you how I feel today
Wish it was easier for me to say
So I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little

[Verse 3]
I feel like a bad guy, but I'm feeling good in those eyes
Suppose I'd rather make it last than cut ties
Don't try shoulda but I shut up
Thinking that I just might slip but I stutter
Trip, trip, trip while I diss, diss, diss
Wanna fix this every time I miss, miss, miss
And I hate myself, at least I think
Being honest is not my thing

[Chorus]
I'm gonna tell you what you wanna hear
I'm gonna make your problems disappear
So I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little

Not gonna tell you how I feel today
Wish it was easier for me to say
So I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
I'm gonna lie a little
Lie a little, lie a little
