"Perfect Lie" lyrics - SHERYL CROW

Burn like a cigarette
Hole inside my head
Reminding me not to forget
Words, words I'd never say
Things along the way
Like telling me that I'm the best

Look at your face
It doesn't look like it did
You give away everything now that you've hid
You, you wanted me only
To never be lonely
So you opened your arms and took me in
But this is our last goodbye
This is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then

Help, help is on the way
That's what they all say
But the thing that they don't know
Is I, I know everything
And maybe it's just a ring
But help won't make me let it go

Look at your face it doesn't look like it did
You give away everything that you once hid
You, you wanted me only
To never be lonely
So you opened your arms and let me in
And this our last goodbye
This is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then

Look at your face It doesn't look like it did
You hide the love that you're not willing now to give,
Willing now to give
You, you wanted me only
To never be lonely
So you opened your arms and took me in
But this is our last goodbye
This is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then
And this is the last goodbye
And this is the final lie
That I never have to hear that voice again.
