Lyrics

I like this careful game we play
Of lying to ourselves
I like the way you say my name
When you think I'm not around
Slow down you might just let yourself
Believe that it was real
I'll show my hand right after you
We're alone on the front porch you say,
"Inside there's just too much noise."
But I know you're only out here cause you wanna hear my voice
I'm amused by your excuses of why I caught you staring
I'll laugh and smile and entertain
And I don't believe a word you say
You like my weeknights
And long straight roads
You like the way I say your name
Like a punchline to a joke
You said you didn't notice when I cut my hair well
I'll tell the truth right after you
We're alone on the front porch you say,
"Inside there's just too much noise."
But I know you're only out here cause you wanna hear my voice
I'm amused by your excuses of why I caught you staring
I'll laugh and smile and entertain
And I don't believe a word you say
I'll pretend to lose my balance you can pretend to lend a hand
If you tell me I look pretty I won't bring it up again
But playing dumb's exhausting when you want someone this bad
I have smiled and entertained
Every moment you've chosen to waste
Every whisper, touch, and well-kept smile
Aren't you tired of lying to yourself
You can look away, but I know your tells
Aren't you tired of lying to yourself
