Don’t you lie to me

Текст песни

[Intro — melodic, almost talking] Oh-oh, yeah I can feel it when you different You ain’t gotta say it, I can tell If it’s really what you say it is Then why don’t it feel like it? [Hook — catchy, melodic] So don’t you lie to me Don’t say you love me if you tryna leave I’d rather hurt from the truth than believe In something that ain’t what you made it seem So don’t you lie to me You know the truth gon’ hit eventually I’d rather know you don’t got love for me Than love somebody who ain’t loving me [Verse 1] You say it’s nothing, but your actions say it’s something You say you here, but I can feel you slowly running I gave you trust, you gave me reasons to be wondering Now every time you say you love me, I hear nothing I ain’t asking you to stay if you don’t want to I just hate that I gotta question what you gone do You can tell me that it’s over, I won’t force you But don’t make me feel I’m crazy just to hold you I learned the hard way, silence got a language You say we good, but we ain’t been the same since You want the benefits of love without the maintenance How you say you care, but leave me with the same pain? [Pre-Hook] I can take the truth, I just can’t take pretending Don’t let me keep on fighting for a love that’s already ending If you got one foot out the door, don’t call it commitment I’d rather lose you knowing why than keep you and keep guessing [Hook] So don’t you lie to me Don’t say you love me if you tryna leave I’d rather hurt from the truth than believe In something that ain’t what you made me seem So don’t you lie to me You know the truth gon’ hit eventually I’d rather know you don’t got love for me Than love somebody who ain’t loving me [Verse 2 — more pain, more wordplay] Don’t tell me what I wanna hear, tell me what it is You can keep a perfect picture, I know what the frame conceals Funny how the truth can hurt, but lies take longer to heal You can fake it for a moment, you can’t fake the way I feel I been making your excuses sound believable Turning all your red flags into reasons I should be with you I was so afraid to lose you, I was losing what was real Now I’m tryna tell the difference between love and what I feel If I gotta beg for honesty, what we building? If I gotta doubt your words, then what am I believing? You can break my heart with truth, at least I know the reason But a lie will have me healing from a wound I wasn’t seeing [Bridge — stripped back, emotional singing] Just tell me if your heart ain’t in it Tell me if we reached our ending Don’t say forever if you don’t mean it Don’t make me love you through pretending I gave you the realest parts of me Don’t turn around and make a fool of me If you got nothing left, just let me be But before you go, be real with me [Final Hook — bigger, layered vocals] So don’t you lie to me Don’t say you love me if you tryna leave I’d rather hurt from the truth than believe In something that ain’t what you made it seem So don’t you lie to me You know the truth gon’ hit eventually I’d rather lose you honestly Than spend my life questioning what you tell me [Outro — soft, repeated] Don’t you lie, don’t you lie I can handle tears, just don’t waste my time Don’t you lie, don’t you lie If your heart ain’t here, don’t tell me it’s mine
