I Don’t Wanna Lie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What do they see? These countless boys who try Who think that they're the right guy They think they're in love They want to try their hand I just don't understand [Pre-Chorus] Growing up, people thought me strange Said I needed to change my disposition I though love was a stupid thing Nothing more than a dumb tradition [Chorus] I don't want roses Roses only die I'm not waiting on the picture perfect guy I don't want you to send letters And wait for my reply I'll never say I love you 'Cause I don't wanna lie [Verse 2] People think that I'm sad They don't say it but I know They think that I just need to grow a spine They think that I'm wrong And they want me to play along Yeah, they want me to see their bottom line [Pre-Chorus] Growing up people said "just wait You'll catch a twist of fate and then you'll see" But no matter the passing years One thing's clear: it's not happening to me [Chorus] I don't want roses Roses only die I'm not waiting on the picture perfect guy I don't want you to send letters And wait for my reply I'll never say I love you 'Cause I don't wanna lie [Bridge] You may call me a cynic Say my outlook on the world is just not right But one thing here is certain You're never gonna win this fight I never let any of my affection be displayed Or maybe it's because I'm afraid [Chorus] That maybe I want roses Even if they die Maybe I've been scared he's not the picture perfect guy And if he were sending letters Maybe I'd reply With one swift I love you But I wouldn't wanna lie
