Charlotte Swarbrick - Ten Minutes Lyrics

You slide your hand into mine but the fingers don't quite fit
You don't even notice the space between us is too big
I know it's her you think about when we're the ones alone
I know it's her you go to when I'm not at home

But as you turn the lights down dear
Tell me all the lies I want to hear

Tell me I'm the only girl that you need
And this is how your life is meant to be
And though I know these words won't be spoken truthfully
For the next ten minutes
Just for these ten minutes
Would you lie here and pretend with me

You press your lips to my cheek but my skin still feels cold
There's no warmth between us but I'm trying to hold on
I wonder if you think about the way things used to be
I wonder what you see in her that you don't see in me

But as you turn the lights down dear
Tell me all the lies I want to hear

Tell me I'm the only girl that you need
And this is how your life is meant to be
And though I know these words won't be spoken truthfully
For the next ten minutes
Just for these ten minutes
Would you lie here and pretend with me
