Half a Lie

You play a God in the way you reveal
Giving just enough to make it feel real
I taste your past when I kiss your lips
Like I'm loving a ghost you still miss

I don't want perfect, I just want a truth
But that even that feels too much for you to proof
So I dim myself just to match your shade
And I hate the peace, I always have to fake it
Always have to fake it

We're living in a half lie
It doesn't feel wrong or right
You love me like a goodbye
Soft hands with a hard lie
We're living in a half lie
Too close to leave, too far to fight
Yeah, you love me like a goodbye
Soft hands with a hard lie, hey

You let me close just to watch me break
Feeding on hope you don't plan to take
Your heart's a room with the lights turned low
And I'm knocking on a door you keeping it closed

I don't want perfect, I just want a truth
But that even that feels too much for you to proof
So I dim myself just to match your shade
And I hate the peace, I always have to fake it
Always have to fake it

We're living in a half lie
It doesn't feel wrong or right
You love me like a goodbye
Soft hands with a hard lie
Soft hands with a hard lie
We're living in a half lie
Too close to leave, too far to fight
Yeah, you love me like a goodbye
Love me like a goodbye
Soft hands with a hard lie
Soft hands with a hard lie
