“I Only Lie When I Love You” is the third single released by Royal Blood for their second studio album, How Did We Get So Dark?.
The song depicts a toxic relationship between the main character and a female lover. The male is clearly the reason as to why the relationship has deteriorated as he lies...
[Intro]
I only lie when I love you
I only crawl when I hit the ground
You only cry when I love you
I only lie when I make a sound
[Verse 1]
Go ahead, muck about
I got my conscience twisted
Pull your hair, make me shout
It's just that you insisted I was good for nothing
Like you were onto something
[Chorus]
I only lie when I love you
I only crawl when I hit the ground
You only cry when I love you
I only lie when I make a sound
I only lie when I
I only lie when I
I only lie when I
I only lie when I
I only lie when I love you
I only crawl when I hit the ground
You only cry when I love you
I only lie when I make a sound
[Verse 2]
Go ahead, pull the plug
Broken finger, sticky trigger
Now I can't get it off my chest
And now I'm wishing you were someone else
You know I'm up to something
Diagnosed, no disease
Got a suspicion but you just can't find it up your sleeve
And now I beg the truth be told from someone else
All of that fuss for nothing
[Chorus]
I only lie when I love you
I only crawl when I hit the ground
You only cry when I love you
I only lie when I make a sound
I only lie when I
I only lie when I
I only lie when I
I only lie when I
I only lie when I love you
I only crawl when I hit the ground
You only cry when I love you
I only lie when I make a sound

Mike Kerr:
I wrote this in an Airbnb in Brighton. I think I was trying to write songs that sounded like The Hives, a mixture of The Hives and a Jack White song. Someone told me this quote: ‘Women fake orgasms, but men fake relationships.’ I was like, ‘Oh my god. That’s brutal.’ I thought of the phr...
Ben Thatcher:
It’s quite bold, too. Straight away, it’s in your face. We hadn’t got a song like that, that starts with the words.
