“Keep Lying” is about an emotionally abusive relationship in which the vocalist understands that the relationship is toxic, but wants to live in the fantasy of the significant other’s lies.
[Chorus]
Keep lying
Keep lying to me
Just keep lying
Keep lying to me
Don’t go
Fucking with my fantasy
Keep lying to me
[Verse]
Feed me your fiction
Give me just one taste
To sustain this addiction
Blissful affliction
I’ll swallow your poison
Till it runs through my veins
Fills my heart with deception
Twist my perception
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby i’ve known lonely
So let me down now slowly
Tell me i’m your only
Even if it hurts
[Chorus]
Keep lying
Keep lying to me
Just keep lying
Keep lying to me
Don’t go
Fucking with my fantasy
Keep lying to me
[Verse 2]
Tell me a story
Let’s make believe if you’re lying
I’ll listen
So say it through your teeth
Make me a prison
And throw away the key
Cause i know what i’m missing
It’s better than nothing
[Chorus]
Baby, I've known lonely
So let me down now slowly
You know me
Tell me I'm your only
Tell me I'm your only (whoa oh)
Baby, I've known lonely (yeah)
So let me down now slowly
You owe me
Tell me I'm your only
Even if it hurts
Baby i’ve known lonely
So let me down now slowly
Tell me i’m your only
Even if it hurts
Baby i’ve known lonely, yeah
So let me down now slowly
You owe me
Tell me i’m your only
Even if it hurts
Keep lying
Keep lying to me
Just keep lying
Keep lying to me
Don’t go
Fucking with my fantasy
Keep lying to me
Keep lying
Keep lying to me
Just keep lying
Keep lying to me
Don’t go
Fucking with my fantasy
Keep lying to me
Baby i’ve known lonely
So let me down now slowly
You owe me
Tell me i’m your only
Even if it hurts
