Lie To Me

Sara Bareilles · Once Upon Another Time [2012]

Tell the truth

No lies, I can take it

Bend your breath just this once

Run your mouth

I bet I can catch it

You sound just like a Judas



And if there's anything I learned

That would keep me standing

If I take you at your word

Then I'm empty handed

A tongue like yours should be burned and branded

So I can see you lie to me

I wish the air would color red

When you breathe it in

So I could have seen it coming

Look in my eyes when you say you love me

So I can see you lie to me



And lost be found

I'm a bloodhound born for seeking

Poor prey, you must be tired

Stood your ground

But your air-tight drums are bleeding

And now it's all on fire



If there's anything I learned

That would keep me standing

If I take you and your word

Then I'm empty handed

A tongue like yours should be burned and branded

So I can see you lie to me

I wish the air would color red

When you breathe it in

So I could have seen it coming

Look in my eyes when you say you love me

So I can see you lie to me
