Lies We Tell

I’m fine
That’s okay
It doesn’t matter
I didn’t notice
No problem
In a minute
There are no stupid questions
No offense, but…
Don’t take this personally
Just kidding
It’s no bother
I don’t remember
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whenever
Where ever
This won’t hurt
It’s for your own good
I don’t need any help
I had no choice
I’m sorry, it won’t happen again
Good luck with all that
Let’s get together soon
