Tell Me It’s Not A Lie—In My Eyes

_(The song starts off slow; Tone soft, and flat rather than sharp)_ The lies that they tell _(Ooo, ooo)_ Fall straight— From hell And I know this Because Of everything Else They tell me But they turn away I never see their Face So how do I know They’re telling the truth? _(Whisper: They’re not)_ _(Tempo speeds up instantly—Tone grows stronger, raspy, and fierce)_ _(The orchestra: Da—Da! Dada—Da! Da! Dada! [repeat])_ Look me in the eyeees~ Tell me it’s not a lieeee~ Let me see your faceee So I know it’s _not_ a gameee~ But I can’t trust You! Cause I can’t read You! Come on! Tell me pleaseee!— Look me in the eyeees— Oh! One! Two! Three! _(Orchestra: Daaaaa—Dadada Da! Daaaa; Daaaaa—Dadada Da! Daaaa [repeat])_ _(Tempo slightly lets off. Tone turns pleading, but not loosing its fuel)_ Oh baby Please whisper in me ear Tell me that— That it’s only me, being weird Cause what I wanna hear! And what you’re gonna say! _(Tone raises the voice)_ Feel like they will be Two _FUCKING_ separate things~ Ooo-ohhhh! _(Orchestra: Daaaaaa—daaa, daaaa!)_ **(STOP)** _(The tempo returns to what it was in the beginning; Tone returns gentle, whispering:)_ Look me in the eyes Tell me it’s not a lie Oh, Look me in the eyes So I don’t say goodbye~ _(Whisper: So don’t you tell a lie)_
