Slow Lies
from the Cure for the Common Ex-Girlfriend
(music and lyrics by benjamin)
she said you
get into the most trouble
when you get me dazed like im seeing double
and its double the love in the form of enough
to help me let go again
so tell me do you feel like we're swimmin in the air in this room
well i get low, let go, get low, let go dive into the deepest lagoon
oh
I
slow
lies
if you want to feel this way
so
i will
say goodbye
even though you say you want me to stay
and then we stop
conscience calling, controllin you once again
so i walk towards the doorway and turn to say
maybe i should leave, no its not you she said its me
and the situtaion commitments dont permit one night vactions
i grab my coat twist the doorknob
but before it leaves its place
she block off my way, please stay please stay
oh
I
slow
lies
if you want to feel this way
so
i will
say goodbye
even though you say you want me to stay
so i whispered somethin in your ear that
i knew would make her cry then i said
everyday that im not here
youre just shaping your heart into one big lie
so i put on my coat and i kiss her slow
and i find my way out of her door
and i pull tears from beside my eyes
and i finally leave her wanting more
oh
I
slow
lies
if you want to feel this way
so
i will
say goodbye
even though you say you want me to stay
