If I could turn the page
The time that I'd rearrange, just a day or two
(Close my, close my, close my eyes)
But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for just one day to believe in you
(Tell me, tell me, tell me lies)

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me tell me lies)
Oh no, no, you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Fleetwood Mac, "Little Lies"

Pinkie Pie: What the fuck, dude? You hate surprise parties, Dash hates pies, why does everybody lie to me?
Maud Pie: Because, Pinkie, giving you even the smallest piece of criticism feels like kicking a puppy. For all of your outwardly projected joy and exuberance, you're the most fragile, disturbed creature I've ever known, and I'd rather endure a thousand surprise parties than make you sad one time.
