lie by Nessa Barrett

Artist: Nessa Barrett

Genre: Pop

Length: 3:34

“lie” displays Barrett’s understanding of her ex moving on physically from her, but she hopes he won’t mentally. Barrett wants him to never truly love anyone but her, but she admits that she can’t change the inevitable fact that he will move on. She also reveals she keeps her tattoos (which match with her ex) and ring to remember him. Via a press release in June 2023, Barrett explained the track is “about accepting that sometimes even though you want something, it’s not always meant to be.” ...

lie lyrics

The hardest pill to swallow
Is knowing that tomorrow you're not mine, mine, mine
If I don't get to have you
Thank God our matching tattoos last for life, life, life
Oh, I know I can't help if you meet someone else
If you meet someone else
You can take her home, she can get you high
You can hold her heart even after you broke mine
You can kiss her softly, never make her cry
You can tell her that you love her as long as it's a lie
As long as it's a lie
Promise you'll lie, promise you'll liе
I still kept the ring
Even if I'll never be your bride, why? Why?
You can grow old together
As long as the last name on your lips is mine, mine, mine
Oh, I know I can't help if you meet someone else
If you meet someone else
You can take her home, she can get you high
You can hold her heart even after you broke mine
You can kiss her softly, never make her cry
You can tell her that you love her as long as it's a lie
As long as it's a lie
Promise you'll lie, promise you'll lie
As long as it's a lie
Promise you'll lie, promise you'll lie
Mm-mm-mm-mmh, mm-mm-mm-mmh
Mm-mm-mm-mmh, mm-mm-mm-mmh
Mm-mm-mm-mmh, mm-mm-mm-mmh
Mm-mm-mm-mmh, mm-mm-mm-mmh
