[Verse 1] You play your part so easily You fooled yourself again With your lipstick smeared Across some face you'll never see again And I sat there in the corner Working back my memories And I wondered if the time would come You'd get around to me
[Chorus] Oh oh, oh oh Living the sweetest lie Oh oh, oh oh Living the sweetest lie
[Verse 2] You made me feel electric Every moment that we shared But the lights went out when I realized You never even cared So I picked myself back up I didn't know where I had been And the thing that makes you seem so wrong Is I want you back again [Chorus] Oh oh, oh oh Living the sweetest lie, yeah Come on baby, give me love Oh oh, oh oh Living the sweetest lie, yeah Come on baby, give me love
[Verse 3] You know you'll never be taken Your love will never be taken now I know you're tired of waking I know you're tired of waking up
