One Last Lie

Tell me one last lie about us 
Tell me you wanted to ask me to stay 
I promise, I won’t make a fuss 
Just tell the lie and I’ll be on my way  

Tell me that you stared hopelessly outside 
Tell me you struggled not to write 
Say you also had to fight 
Tell this one lie, little and white  

Tell me this, please just lie to me this time 
Tell me your throat chokes up the same way 
Let me dream that you’re still mine 
Let’s pretend you asked me to stay
