LIE
Contemporary Pop-Rock with a driving 4/4 beat at 124 BPM in the key of G Major. The arrangement features a prominent acoustic guitar strumming eighth-note patterns, layered with clean electric guitar arpeggios and palm-muted power chords in the verses. A thick synth bass provides low-end weight, locking with a punchy kick drum and a crisp snare on beats 2 and 4. The chorus expands with distorted electric guitar walls and bright synth pads. Male vocals occupy a tenor range, utilizing a mix of chest voice and breathy falsetto, with heavy reverb and delay on the ad-libs. The bridge features a breakdown with filtered synth textures and building percussion before a final high-energy chorus.

Lyrics
Mm
Yeah
Oh
[Verse 1]
Woke up with your name in my throat again
Like a curse I can’t spit out, I just hold it in
I used to chase your shadow down the hallway
Now I lock every door just to feel okay
You made me think I needed you to breathe
Like love was something I could never keep
But lately I been seeing it more clear
You weren’t my home, you were my fear
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate how I still remember
The warmth in your voice in December
But the truth hits hard when it’s silent
You only loved me when it was convenient
[Chorus]
I
used to want you near
now want you to disappear
I don't know if us was real
lie
you said you loved me
you said you'd never leave
I don't know if it was real
[Verse 2]
I was writing us down like a prophecy
While you were living like you had no heart in me
You smiled while I broke into pieces
Then acted like I was the one with diseases
I kept forgiving like it meant something
Like loyalty could stop the pain from coming
But every promise you gave me was cheap
And every night you left me losing sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m numb in my chest
I’m a mess, I confess
Still I act like I’m fine when I’m barely alive
And I hate that I tried
Yeah I hate that I tried
To make a lie feel like love in my mind
[Chorus]
I
used to want you near
now want you to disappear
I don't know if us was real
lie
you said you loved me
you said you'd never leave
I don't know if it was real
[Bridge]
Maybe I was just a phase to you
Something you played with when you felt confused
Maybe I was just a bed to fall into
Then you woke up and forgot the truth
And I keep asking God why I stayed
Why I let you rewrite my brain
Why I still hear your voice in my head
When I know you don’t deserve it
[Chorus]
I
used to want you near
now want you to disappear
I don't know if us was real
lie
you said you loved me
you said you'd never leave
I don't know if it was real
[Chorus]
I
used to want you near
now want you to disappear
I don't know if us was real
lie
you said you loved me
you said you'd never leave
I don't know if it was real
[Outro]
Mm…
I don’t know if it was real
Yeah…
Just a lie..
