[Verse 1]
You must take me for an idiot
Prolly think I lack confidence
Think I’ll let you play around with me
And make up with these promises
I was on a cloud all about these dreams that you sold me
Then you bail out and expect me to forget what you told me
But, I must be an easy victim
I must be an easy prey
And givin’ up to you quickly
Is prolly the easy way
‘cause everything you say is poetry
And the picture that you paint is art
It’s like you understand my vulnerability
Is where you pick the lock into my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Many times gettin’ pretty tired
Like nobody really wanna give me mine
See ‘cause every time I be steady tryin’
But I’m still a sucker for your pretty lies, and
[Chorus]
(lie to me, lie to me)
Make it sound like you mean it (say that you love me, say that you love me)
Mean it
Sell me my dreams and
(lie to me, lie to me)
Make it sound like you mean it, (say that you love me, say that you love me)
Mean it (say that you love me)
Sell me my dreams and
Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound
Like I believe it, ‘lieve it, oh
Just make it sound good (sell me my dreams and)
Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound
Like I believe it, ‘lieve it, oh
I believe in you
[Verse 2]
This ain’t never been a joke to me (joke to me)
You spoke to me
Told me that this could be
Everything I ever hoped it be
But it ain’t what it’s supposed to be (posed to be)
You holdin’ me (holdin’ me)
In a cage of hope
Should’ve never let you get close to me (close to me)
Should’ve never let you put a price on my soul (price on my soul) But I gave you control (gave you control)
And it’s clear that you know (clear that you know)
On your list of things I ain’t even know where you put me
And I’m back here, stuck on stupid
Thinkin’ bout what it could be (what it could be)
[Pre-Chorus]
Many times gettin’ pretty tired
Like nobody really wanna give me mine
See ‘cause every time I be steady tryin’
But I’m still a sucker for your pretty lies, and
[Chorus]
(lie to me, lie to me)
Make it sound like you mean it (say that you love me, say that you love me) Mean it
Sell me my dreams and
(lie to me, lie to me)
Make it sound like you mean it, (say that you love me, say that you love me)
Mean it (say that you love me)
Sell me my dreams and
Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound
Like I believe it, ‘lieve it, oh
Just make it sound good (sell me my dreams and)
Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound
Like I believe it, ‘lieve it, oh
I believe in you
[Verse 3]
I don’t know what I believe in
If everything you say is real
Tell me why to me it all just kinda feels like
You don’t ever really mean it
You’re keepin’ me close
Whenever we’re talkin’ you’re givin’ me hope
At the same time you keep lettin’ me know
You need some time
I don’t even know what that means and
We’re talkin’ until i forget what the problem is, yeah
Talkin’ until I forget why I started it, man
But why am I bitter when you’re being positive, shit
The problem is that I need you for acknowledgement
Honestly I got no confidence
[Chorus]
(lie to me, lie to me)
Make it sound like you mean it (say that you love me, say that you love me)
Mean it
Sell me my dreams and
(lie to me, lie to me)
Make it sound like you mean it, (say that you love me, say that you love me)
Mean it (say that you love me)
Sell me my dreams and
Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound
Like I believe it, ‘lieve it, oh
Just make it sound good (sell me my dreams and)
Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound, Make it sound
Like I believe it, ‘lieve it, oh
I believe in you
[Outro]
I believe in you I believe in you
Eh, eh, eh
Oh yeah yeah Yeah
Uhuh
Tell me that this time is different
Tell me that this time we’ll make it yeah
Maybe this’ll be the difference
Between awake and awakened, yeah yeah
Lie to me, lie to me
Say that you love me
Lie to me
