Lies

[Intro]
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie

[Verse 1]
I wrote a song about being broke
It kind of started out as a joke
I didn't go to college, what would I know
About student loans
Just wanted you all to relate to me
Most of my songs aren't true
I faked heartbreak
I didn't go through
Even when I told you I've "Never Been In Love"
I already was
Just wanted you all to relate to me

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mean to mislead you, I promise
So uncomfortable being dishonest, ah-ah
And I think I just realized I would say anything
To come off a little more interesting

[Chorus]
That's why I tell
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie

[Verse 2]
I'd rather tell myself if I ignore
These thoughts they'll go away
And my toxic friends have changed
Truth is I hate confrontation
Deal with it tomorrow
'Cause there's nothing I can do
That's my favorite excuse
Feeding my procrastination

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be happy when I've had success
Is that my way to admit I'm depressed?
My therapy's retail, if it's on sale
I pay the price and call that happiness, ah-ah
And I think I just realized I would do anything
To keep hiding the pain I've been burying

[Chorus]
That's why I tell
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

[Bridges]
Over and over, I keep on repeating
Until it all sounds like the truth to me, and
I cover them up like I'm putting out fires
The last thing I want
Is for you to think I'm a liar

[Chorus]
That's why I tell
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie
That's why I tell
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies

[Post-Chorus]
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
(I don't mean to mislead you, I promise)
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
(I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise)
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
(So uncomfortable being dishonest)
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lies
(Dishonest, dishonest, dishonest, dishonest)
