You Lie to Me

Letra

[Intro] You lie to me And wear that honest face You say the words so carefully Like truth could leave no trace [Verse 1] I saw your phone turn face-down When my name lit up the screen You called it nothing, called me proud For asking what it means Your jacket smelled like someone else Your alibi came late You built a house of little lies Then handed me the keys to break [Pre-Chorus] Don't lower your eyes Don't soften the sound I know where the missing hours went I know what I found [Chorus] You lie to me Then pull me closer You lie to me Like I won't know ya Say my name with a steady voice While you hide every choice You lie to me But I won't stay beneath you [Verse 2] The receipt was in your pocket From a place you never named Two drinks, a borrowed story And a match that never came You wanted me forgiving You wanted me unsure But love without a backbone Is just another locked door [Pre-Chorus] Don't lower your eyes Don't soften the sound I know where the missing hours went I know what I found [Chorus] You lie to me Then pull me closer You lie to me Like I won't know ya Say my name with a steady voice While you hide every choice You lie to me But I won't stay beneath you [Bridge] Keep your promise in your mouth Keep your apology I won't trade my peace for proof Or your version of me You had the truth between your teeth And still chose make-believe Now watch me walk beyond the reach Of what you took from me [Final Chorus] You lie to me But I see clearly You lie to me You don't control me Say my name, but lose the claim I won't answer to your game You lie to me And now you're lying lonely [Outro] You lie to me No more You lie to me I'm gone
