About

“This was actually a last minute addition to the album, just before I turned it in.
I love the lyrics of this song, because I’m playing a character and I’m imagining myself falling for the lie that money can buy you happiness. I’m falling for these different traps, then trying to warn everybody that...

The Lie Lyrics

[Intro]
Mmm, yeah

[Verse 1]
I need some closure
Feel like the chip fell off my shoulder
Over exposure
Open my wounds and make me close up
I got everything that I thought I'd like
Simple memories, we were stained like wine
It's pouring over
Coursing my veins, leaving me sober

[Pre-Chorus]
But they told me, the more the better
Guess the joke's on me, same old song, I cry

[Chorus]
Lie, lie, lie
Mmm (Uh)
Lie, lie, lie
They lie, lie, lie
Mmm (Uh)
Lie, lie, lie

[Verse 2]
I hate rollercoasters
Them ups and downs get me no closer
Played my role and did what I'm supposed to
They say, "She's heating up," but I feel colder
Mmm, pour the gasoline, set my dreams on fire
Smoking on my mist 'til it burns my eyes
I'm moving blind now
An empty heart is not a hideout

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, they told me, the more the better
Guess the joke's on me
Same old song, I cry

[Chorus]
Lie, lie, lie
Mmm
Lie, lie, lie
Don't believe the lie, lie, lie
Mmm
Lie, lie, lie

[Outro]
Oh, ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh, hey
Ah, ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh, hey
Mmm, mmm
Mmm
