Tell Me Pretty Lies (Lyrics)

Published on 27 October 2025 at 12:46

Wake up each day already tired.

For a small city it's never quiet.

And my head matches the noise,

But my heart can't make a choice

To save its life.

 

Tell me pretty lies,

To save my life.

Tell me everything's gonna be alright.

 

Alright, 

You keep telling me to sit tight.

And that's just fine,

Cause 20-something's a fight,

And I'm outta breath,

But just too curious to see what's next.

 

So get outta bed,

And take a bite of your life.

Who knows it might be sweeter than you like.

Cause the next one's around the bend,

Before you know it this chapter ends,

Onto the next.

 

Tell me pretty lies,

That I can slow time,

And that everything's gonna be alright.

 

Alright, 

You keep telling me to sit tight.

And that's just fine,

Cause 20-something's a fight,

And I'm outta breath,

But just too curious to see what's next.

 

Alright,

Today I woke up alright,

For the first time since Ashlyn last called to say hi.

Might've found some peace of mind,

At least until tonight,

When I close my eyes.
