"Lie"

by Max Phineas

Lie to me and tell me
That everything's alright
Speak to me and let me know
Because I need you now more than before

Lie to me and make me believe
That we'll be together forever
Whisper in my ear and wrap your arms around me
Tell me you'll always be there for me

Because when I wake up
From this magnificent dream
I know I'll be cold and alone
And you won't be there to save me.

So lie to me and flash me a smile
Convince me that you'll stay awhile
Lie to me and tell me
That everything's alright.

Author's Note: This was originally a song I wrote in September, but I've decided I like it a lot better without the music. :)

Yes, very lyrical.. there's something very musical about it. The words are very relatable, and to the point. Great read..

This flows nicely. And speaks with clarity.

well done on communicating a universal theme that will strike a chord with everyone. it certainly did with me.
