Kathleen Edwards - Only Lie Worth Telling [Paul Westerberg Cover]

"Only Lie Worth Telling" by Paul Westerberg
Performed by Kathleen Edwards

Call me when your arms are empty
That's the only way it can be
Call me when you're full of pretty lies
Call me when your eyes are empty
And open all night

You lied enough
Open wide enough
To drive a truck straight through

Only lie worth telling
Is I'm in love with you
Only lie worth telling
Is I'm in love with you

Call me when you think you're leaving
Hope you know you're not deceiving me
Again just like you think you should
Call me when your arms are empty
And open all night

You lied enough
Open wide enough
To drive a truck straight through

Only lie worth telling
Is I'm in love with you
Only lie worth telling
Is I'm in love with you

If you need someone
To tell everything you've done
Then lie to me
I'm the one who can attempt to be your friend

If you need someone
To tell everything you've done
Then lie to me
I'm the one who can still pretend

Call me when your eyes are empty
And open all night

You lied enough
Open wide enough
To drive a truck straight like a knife

Only lie worth telling
Is I'm in love with you
I'm the only lie worth telling
I'm in love with you
Only lie worth telling
I'm the only lie worth telling

    So great to see a new performance. I have been a huge fan since Building 55. Great song. Great sound. You haven't aged a year in the past 30 years. Hope the old guitar is OK.
