Please Big Brother Tell Me a Lie

  Please Big Brother Tell Me a Lie

My heart is breaking from the truth, so big brother please tell me a lie.

Let my heart be deceived and pretend you are not going to die.

Tell me you’ll take it back and wipe the tears from my face

Tell me I’m being selfish to want to keep you in this place.

I know you are in pain and the end is coming soon

So tell me a lie that will ease my mind and heal my heart

Tell me we won’t soon be apart

Let me believe this is some stupid joke

So that my heart will not be broke

Oh please big brother tell me a lie

Let me go to sleep and dream of tomorrow

Without all these thoughts of sorrow

I don’t want to know that you are sick

I don’t want to accept that you are leaving

I don’t want to think about life without you in it

I don’t want to prepare for your loss

I don’t want to watch you leave

So please big brother tell me a lie.
