Only With A Lie

This is about loving someone you know is going to be bad for you.

Only With A Lie 

Verse: 
Contradictions, confusion 
In my soul, it's an illusion 
Do I want you, or should I avoid 
The situation where I know I'll be destroyed 

P-C: 
I should be running, but you'd catch me anyway 
My mind knows you're cunning, but refuses to escape 

Chorus: 
I love you 
But only with a lie 
Because I know someday 
We'll face a bitter goodbye 
I want you 
Even though we won’t last long 
It’s better have loved and lost 
Than to have never loved at all 
I love you 
But only with a lie 

Verse: 
Is it real, or just pretend? 
My guilty pleasure, no one recommends 
I'll tumble down after just one blow 
And I know you won't try to take it slow 

Pre-chorus: 
I should be thinking, but my vision's full of clouds 
My mind knows you wanna be king but I'm not gonna stand around 

Chorus: 
I love you 
But only with a lie 
Because I know someday 
We'll face a bitter goodbye 
I want you 
Even though I won’t last long 
It’s better have loved and lost 
Than to have never loved at all 
I love you 
But only with a lie 

Bridge: 
Yes, no. What do I do? 
Should I play it safe? 
Is it worth the risk? 
Yes it is, I say 
I'll pretend this ain't a game 
Just so I can let someone in 

I love you... 

Chorus: 
I love you 
But only with a lie 
Because I know someday 
We'll face a bitter goodbye 
I want you 
Even though it won’t last long 
It’s better have loved and lost 
Than to have never loved at all 
I love you 
But only with a lie 
But only with a lie
