I usually spend at least a week (up to months) on my pinned songs.

For this challenge, I only had a couple of days to work on it. Therefore, the lyrics aren't the most complex or profound. I essentially copy-pasted a bunch of lines from my lyrics notepads and tried to make them work around the "lie" idea/hook.

But then I felt like I accidently created a banger, so I decided to pin it. Hope you feel the same way!

I heard you just fine the first time
Static free signal
I know I wasn't next in line
But was I on trial?
Or a new witness to your crimes
Resisting infatuation sublime
An impossible mountain to climb
Pockets lined...
...with half-truths to find
I followed you home
Oh, had I known...

All you do is...
Lie

Had I known your words were staged
Curves fading under my hand
Alibis piled like debts in shade
This interest, unplanned
Traced desires on skin you loaned
My ground gave way to your moans
Your whispers sold as facts
...As cold as stone
...Sifting ash from blueprinted lies
Regretting the pacts...
Oh, had I seen the signs...

All you do is...
Lie

Let's be quiet now
It's just a scar
Drowning truths in the pull of what we weren't
Just me
Leave the knots
And tell me
What am I not?

Or you can just...
Lie
