Lyrics
Instrumental Intro – Deep upright bass, lazy electric guitar, brushed drums soft as a sigh. [Feels like a cigarette burning down in a dark room.
Verse 1
You don’t love me, you just love control
You show up drunk, acting sentimental
Talking like you miss me, like I ain’t seen this before
Like you ain’t been in her bed, calling her mine behind closed doors
And I could leave, yeah, I should walk
But you say my name like it’s worth more than talk
Like I ain’t disposable, like I’m not just a fucking game
And that’s enough to make me stay
Pre-Chorus
So keep it sweet, keep it pretty
Don’t let the truth fuck up the city
If you go, then go all in
Leave me high, let me sink
Chorus
Love me less, lie to me more
Tell me I’m the one you’re fighting for
Kiss me like you mean it, like you give a damn
Even if you never did, just fake it again
Love me less, lie to me more
Make it hurt, so I know what it’s for
Instrumental Section – Deep bass lingers, guitar bends slightly off-key, like something’s breaking.
Verse 2
You leave your jacket on my floor
Like you’re coming back, like you still want more
Like I ain’t just the thing you run to
When you’re too fucked up to be alone
And I let you, yeah, I let this
'Cause the truth’s a sharp thing when it’s naked
So I dress it up in your hands on my skin
Like that’ll make it hurt less in the end
Pre-Chorus
So keep it sweet, keep it pretty
Don’t let the truth fuck up the city
If you go, then go all in
Leave me high, let me sink
Chorus
Love me less, lie to me more
Tell me I’m the one you’re fighting for
Kiss me like you mean it, like you give a damn
Even if you never did, just fake it again
Love me less, lie to me more
Make it hurt, so I know what it’s for
Instrumental Section – Electric guitar loops softly, distant vocal hums, like a memory fading in and out.
Bridge
I know your heart ain't in this room
But let me pretend for a minute or two
I’ll play the fool, I’ll play it well
We both know I do that best
Final Chorus
Love me less, lie to me more
Tell me I’m the one you’re fighting for
Kiss me like you mean it, like you give a damn
Even if you never did, just fake it again
Love me less, lie to me more
Make it hurt, so I know what it’s for
Outro] [almost talking, the final line fading like a bad dream
Yeah… just lie to me one more time.
Instrumental Outro – Low bass hum, guitar note bending slightly, like the sound of something warping and unraveling.
