"Lie A Little" lyrics

You don't have to say I'm doing great
Just tell her that I'm ok
You don't have to say I'm moving on
Just tell her I get closer everyday
You don't have to paint a picture
Some fairy tell fiction she won't believe
But if you see her, when you talk about me

Could ya, lie just a little bit
Give the plain old truth just a little twist
Make it sound a little better than it really is
Make me look like somebody
She's gonna miss
When the conversation turns to us
And she asks you how I've been
Look her in the eye
And lie just a little bit

You don't have to lead her to believe
That maybe I still want her back
But if there's anyway to let her know
I hope that doors still open just a crack
You ain't got to over sell her
Whatever story that you tell her just make it good
Not too much, but if you could

Would ya lie just a little bit
Give the plain old truth just a little twist
Make it sound a little better than it really is
Make me look like somebody
She's gonna miss
When the conversation turns to us
And she asks you how I've been
Look her in the eye
And lie just a little bit
Won't you lie just a little bit?

Just a little white one
Not the great big goodbye one
The kind that never hurt no one

Lie just a little bit
Give the plain old truth just a little twist
Make it sound a little better than it really is
Make me look like somebody
She's gonna miss
When the conversation turns to us
And she asks you how I've been
Look her in the eye
And lie just a little bit
Lie just a little bit
Lie just a little bit
