Deception of perception

Tell me sweet little lies
that you like it
that I'm beautiful
that it's good.
Tell me small white lies
that you like me
that it's beautiful
that it's never been so good.
Say all the words
I want to hear,
I'll know they're untrue
but I won't shed a tear.
Say all those pretty words
to make my heart skip a beat.
I'll believe them all
that'll be my downfall.
