“Don’t Lie”
- [Intro –soft, airy tone]
- (Yeah… yeah…)
- Why you look me in my eyes…
- Tell me that you love me… then you switch sides…
- [Verse 1 –slow, melodic, stretched words]
- I gave you my heart, you played it like a game
- Now I’m sittin’ in the dark, screaming out your name
- All the late nights, all the pain we hid
- You said forever, girl, you lied again
- I was ridin’ for you, yeah, I took your side
- Even when the truth cut deep, I let it slide
- Now I’m stuck in my head, can’t sleep at night
- All I hear is your voice… sayin’ “I won’t lie”
- But you did… yeah you did… now I see it clear
- All the fake love, all the smoke and mirrors here
- I was blind, now my vision 20/20 pain
- Every tear fallin’ down like the summer rain
- [Pre Chorus –rising emotion]
- Why you say you love me if you don’t mean it?
- Why you stay around if you gon’ leave me?
- Heart so cold, I don’t feel right
- Just tell the truth… don’t lie…
- [Hook –catchy, melodic, repeatable]
- Don’t lie… don’t lie…
- Look me in my eyes, don’t lie…
- You said you’d ride or die…
- Now you gone, I’m askin’ why…
- Don’t lie… don’t lie…
- Love turned fake overnight…
- I was yours, you were mine…
- Guess forever was a lie…
- [Verse 2 –more rhythm, slightly faster flow]
- Now I’m drivin’ down roads, thinkin’ ‘bout us
- Got your ghost in my head, can’t let go of trust
- You were everything I wanted, now it’s all dust
- Love turned to pain, now it’s all rust
- I remember all the nights we would vibe slow
- Now I’m drinkin’ all alone, feelin’ hollow
- You were my tomorrow, now you just past
- Tryna move on, but I’m stuck in the past
- Every text, every call, yeah, I miss that
- But I know if you came back, I’d relapse

- Love turned fake overnight…

- Just wish you told me the truth…
- Instead of tellin’ me lies…
