[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
[Chorus]
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
