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
Intro
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..
