Tell Me A Lie

One Direction · Up All Night [2011]

Can't ever get it right

No matter how hard I try

And I've tried

When I put up a good fight

But your words cut like knives

And I'm tired



As you break my heart again this time



Tell me I'm a screwed up mess

That I never listen, listen

Tell me you don't want my kiss

That you're needing distance, distance



Tell me everything but don't you say

It's what you're missing, baby

If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight

Spare me what you think and

Tell me a lie



Well, you're the charming type

That little twinkle in your eye

Gets me every time

And well there must have been a time

I was a reason for that smile



So keep in mind

As you take whats left of you and I



Tell me I'm a screwed up mess

That I never listen, listen

Tell me you don't want my kiss

That you're needing distance, distance



Tell me everything but don't you say

It's what you're missing, baby

If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight

Spare me what you think and

Tell me a lie

Tell me a lie

Tell me a lie

Tell me a lie



Tell me I'm a screwed up mess

That I never listen, listen



Tell me you don't want my kiss

That you're needing distance, distance



Tell me everything but don't you say

It's what you're missing, baby

If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight

Spare me what you think and

Tell me a lie

Tell me a lie

Tell me a lie

Tell me a lie

Tell me a lie
