“Don’t Lie”
• Written by koolaidman
[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
Toxic love got me caught in a loop
Truth hurts more when it come from you
[Pre-Chorus – softer this time]
Why you say you love me if you don’t mean it…
Why you hold me close just to leave me…
Heart so cold, I don’t feel right…
Just tell the truth… don’t lie…
[Hook – emotional, fuller]
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…
[Outro – fading, echo effect]
(Yeah…)
Guess forever was a lie…
Now I’m alone with the night…
Just wish you told me the truth…
Instead of tellin’ me lies…
