  • Can't ever get it right
    No matter how hard I try
    And I've tried
    Well, 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 need your distance, distance
    Tell me anything but don't you say he'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 the reason for that smile
    So keep in mind
    As you take what's left of you and I

    Tell me I'm a screwed up mess (mess)
    That I never listen, listen
    Tell me you don't want my kiss (kiss)
    That you need your distance, distance
    Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missing, baby
    If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight (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 (mess)
    That I never listen, listen
    Tell me you don't want my kiss (kiss)
    That you need your distance, distance
    Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missing, baby
    If he's the reason that you're leaving me tonight
    Spare me your what you think and
    Tell me a lie

    Tell me a lie
    Tell me a lie
    Tell me a lie
