A Tender Lie
Navigating Love's Deception
Lyrics
As you walk away
Reflecting on someone leaving
As we say good-bye
Saying farewell
What I wouldn't give
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice for a comforting falsehood
For a tender lie
Desiring a gentle, reassuring untruth
Say you'll never stop loving me
Pleading for a commitment to eternal love
Just as if it were true
Requesting the declaration of everlasting love, even if insincere
How much more damage now honestly
Contemplating the potential harm of a comforting lie
Could one tender lie do?
Questioning the consequences of a tender lie
When we fall so far
Reflecting on the depth of a fall in a relationship
Are we wrong to try?
Considering the morality of persisting in a troubled relationship
To keep out the truth
Choosing to conceal the harsh reality with a gentle lie
With a tender lie
Advocating for the use of a comforting falsehood
Say you're gonna come back to me
Hoping for a promise of return, even if false
And I'll believe that it's true
Willingness to believe in a potentially untrue commitment
How much more damage now honestly
Reiterating concerns about the potential harm of a tender lie
Could one tender lie do?
Revisiting the question of the consequences of a comforting falsehood
Say you're gonna come back to me
Repetition of the desire for a promised return
And I'll believe that it's true
Reiteration of the willingness to believe in a potentially untrue commitment
How much more damage now honestly
Repeating concerns about the potential harm of a tender lie
Could one tender lie do?
Restating the question of the consequences of a comforting falsehood
How much more damage now honestly
Reiterating concerns about the potential harm of a tender lie
Could one tender lie do?
Final repetition of the question of the consequences of a comforting falsehood
