My Favorite Lie
Louise Hoffsten · Other Songs - Louise Hoffsten
I dream on and I search
I keep looking around
For a love that won't hurt
But I still haven't found
I have looked everywhere
I have searched for one sign
That you possibly care
Just a glance would be fine.
Tell me
Although it's not true
That you really love me
It's me and it's you
Keep trying to hide
I swollow my pride
And ask" Tell me my favorite lie
Please tell me my favorite lie
It's a catchy Refrain
I can't hear it enough
Repeat it once again
Though it may be a bluff
I so need those three words
Like a drug or a drink
Even if they are slurred
It's easy not to think
Tell me
Although it's not true
That you really love me
It's me and it's you
Keep trying to hide
I swollow my pride
And ask" Tell me my favorite lie
Please tell me my favorite lie
I don't ask for much
I'm not a fool
Just keep on pretending
Don't be so cruel
Things would be better
If you could just tell me that lie
