Cusack, 1984 Lyrics

I got my paycheck and bought you some flowers

Spent the next few hours trying to think of something to write

That might make things alright

The taste of my words were sour

I swallowed, choked, and powered my way right to your door

Like Cusack, 1984

And I told you that you give me direction

That I feel a little less lost when I'm with you

I kept waiting for you to say "me too"

Just don't lie to me and tell me you love me | Don't lie to me, no, don't tell me that you do

Oh you know I need you, but a lie won't do

Caught a bus out to the city, got out, looked up, and saw myself falling through the sky

As you watched me pass by

The skyscrapers looked like gravestones

The paint was wet on the one that bared our names

All at once everything changed

And I told you that you give me direction

That I feel a little less lost when I'm with you

I kept waiting for you to say "me too"

Just don't lie to me and tell me you love me

Don't lie to me, no, don't tell me that you do

Oh you know I need you, but a lie won't do

Just don't lie to me and tell me you love me

Don't lie to me, no, don't tell me that you do

Oh you know I need you, but a lie won't do
