The Patrick McNamara Problem - A Good Lie

You be the conscience I ignore
Be the late knock at your door
And I’ll whisper
And I’ll whisper

Tell a story of the time
That we nearly crossed the line
And then I’ll whisper
I’ll whisper
And whisper what it is to fall away

Want to believe (Shout it)
Something that’s real (Doubt it)
Why can’t you see (Now that I’m in trouble)

Think I could be (Shout it)
Something you need (Doubt it)
Why can’t I breathe (Now that I’m in trouble)

I don’t love you, you don’t mind
A good lie is hard to find
One you want to believe
One you want to believе

I don’t love you, you don’t mind
A good lie is hard to find
One you want to bеlieve
One you want to believe in
As the grain shifts where you stand
Build foundations out of sand
And I’ll whisper
And I’ll whisper
Finally cut me down to size
In the hope I’ll realise
That now I miss her
And whisper
And whisper what it is to fall away

Want to believe (Shout it)
Something that’s real (Doubt it)
Why can’t you see (Now that I’m in trouble)

Think I’m in love (Shout it)
Sent from above (Doubt it)
Never enough (Now that I’m in trouble)

I don’t love you, you don’t mind
A good lie is hard to find
One you want to believe
One you want to believe

I don’t love you, you don’t mind
A good lie is hard to find
One you want to believe
One you want to believe in
If you want to believe (Shout it)
Something that’s real (Doubt it)
Why can’t you see (Now that I’m in trouble)

It’s a bitter regret (Shout it)
Deep in your head (Doubt it)
Wish I was dead (Now that I’m in trouble)

And I don’t love you, you don’t mind
A good lie is
One you want to believe
One you want to believe

I don’t love you, you don’t mind
A good lie is hard to find
One you want to believe
One you want to believe in
