Book Playlist: Love Me With Lies by Tarryn Fisher

           

Love Me With Lies Series

I finished reading Thief last night and I'm still experiencing the post-Tarryn-Fisher sickness––meaning it still courses through my thoughts and I can't seem to move on. I love this series no matter how much it hurt me to the point of making me cry then force me to love it again because of the beauty and reality of it all. It was like that, a cycle...a never ending cycle of love and hate, of trust and lies that render me speechless. The characters are flawed but those are what makes them real and the emotions raw. Man, I hate to say goodbye to the characters I grew to love and hate most especially to Caleb and Olivia so I've decided to create a playlist for their unconventional love story . I'm trying to embed a playlist, however, I don't know what's wrong because it doesn't work so I've listed them instead and highlight the lyrics which I think describe this series the most. 

1. I Won't Lie – Go Radio

 If I could take it all back

I could make it all right

You could be the best part of my life

I can tell you all night that I wanna be

The man I'm supposed to be

That...

I won't lie

I've waited a million hours just to say that

I will die if you leave me

You are the way my heart beats

And you are the words my tongue speaks

And I will die if you leave me

2. Time-Bomb – All Time Low

Got my heart in your hands
Like a time bomb ticking

It goes off, we start again

If it breaks, we fix it

Got your heart in my hands

Like a time bomb ticking

We should know better

But we won't let go

It was like a time bomb
Set it in motion

We knew that we were

Destined to explode

(Destined to explode)

And if I have to pull you

Out of the wreckage

You know I'm never gonna let you go

3. Wait for You –– Elliott Yamin

What will it take to make you come back?

Girl, I told you what it is and it just ain't like that

No, why can't you look at me? You're still in love with me

Don't leave me crying

Baby, why can't we just, just start over again?

Get it back to the way it was

If you give me a chance I can love you right

But you're telling me it won't be enough

So baby, I will wait for you

'Cause I don't know what else I can do

Don't tell me I ran out of time

If it takes the rest of my life

4. I Must Be Dreaming –– The Maine

Tell me that you love me.

And it'll be alright.

Are you thinking of me?

Just come with me tonight.

You know I need you.

Just like you need me.

Can't stop, Won't stop.

I must be dreaming.

5. When 3's A Crowd –– A Day To Remember

So here we are again, in the same situation

I'm screaming at the top of my lungs and you're not saying a word

Did you just say what you mean?

Why can't you just mean what you said

When you said "No one can love you like me?"

These past four walls won't be the only thing that's keeping me from you

This distance could never hold this back (I need you)

So let's just take this time and we'll use this for reflection

And I'll see you in three days

And you'll think of me when you're next to him

Well that's a wrap up for my first book playlist! ;)

Here are snippets of my favourite quotes from the three books:

"Life does not accommodate you, it shatters you. Love is mean, but it's good. It keeps us alive."

–Thief

“Love is illogical. You fall into it like a manhole. Then you're just stuck. You die in love more than you live in love.”

–Dirty Red

"I think that after the first time you give your heart away, you never get it back. The rest of your life is just you pretending that you still have a heart."

–The Opportunist
