Lie To Make Me Like You
[Verse 1]
Monday morning coffee and yawning
Never liked waking up
But then I catch your eye and you give that smile
And everything's looking up
And boy, I'm thanking God for putting all his extra love
Into making such a masterpiece as you
Silly little heartbeats seem to echo like a drum
And I'm paranoid you'll hear the noise
And it will make you run
Coz I'm drinking in your words like it's my final day on earth
And I don’t care whether you're here to save my soul or drag me down
I wanna know you and all your quirks
So I will lay out all my sins and hope that you say you’ve seen worse
[Chorus]
You don't need to lie to make me like you
Don't need no lines to make me wait
Don't need to leave me so I'll miss you
Don't need to kiss me so I'll stay
You don't need to push me so I'll fall, boy
Don't have to do it all my way
You don't gotta make sense to anybody else
As long as you make sense to me
[Verse 2]
Little things the way you bring
Your gold when I am grey
How I’ve never prayed so hard
For nothing but for you to stay
So I’m building up a court case of why should want this too
Oh, I’m breathing so much easier and it all comes down to you
And I wanna know you
What makes you tick
So I will give you 50 reasons
And boy you can take your pick
[Chorus]
You don't need to lie to make me like you
Don't need no lines to make me wait
Don't need to leave me so I'll miss you
Don't need to kiss me so I'll stay
You don't need to push me so I'll fall, boy
Don't have to do it all my way
You don't gotta make sense to anybody else
As long as you make sense to me
You don’t need to ditch your friends because I hate them
You don’t gotta choose me every time
You don’t need to know exactly what you're doing
Or who you'll be in ten years time
You don’t gotta have your shit together
Coz lord knows I ain't got mine
You don’t gotta be anyone else but you
Long as the you you've got is mine
[Bridge]
So maybe we will both get married
Have a mortgage, share the dirt we’re buried
And maybe we’ll win, maybe we won't
But I don't care if you’re not thinking future
If all you want is me and you, sir
That still sounds incredible to me
[Verse 3]
You don’t need to buy a ring and pop the question
Thought you know I wouldn’t refuse
You don’t to promise you’ll be faithful
In 50 years I'll be what you choose
You just need to say the right now here
I look like something you could love
You don’t need be anyone else but you
Right now you are enough
[Chorus]
You don't need to lie to make me like you
Don't need no lines to make me wait
Don't need to leave me so I'll miss you
Don't need to kiss me so I'll stay
You don't need to push me so I'll fall, boy
Don't have to do it all my way
You don't gotta make sense to anybody else
As long as you make sense to me
