What's It Like to Lie?
R&B Country
Lyrics
Description
You wear your lies like a second skin, slick and cold
Phrase it like you′re scarred, but you don′t fold
Remember the nights I stayed wide awake, counting every fall
While you hid behind whispered jokes and a fall
You twist the knot but dress it neat
Claim the cross but skip the beat
What's it like to be a lying, cheating so of a bitch?
To wear your stories like a badge, to flip the switch?
What's it like to hurt the one who′s always there?
To stab the heart that thought you really cared?
All that story telling—yeah, you′ll find yourself in a ditch
You′re preaching pain but you′re the fire that′s burning through
Strangers get the kindness you never showed to truth
You paint your innocence on cracked windows
But I see through the frost
The frost is where your cold grows
You twist the knife but dress it neat
Claim the cross but skip the beat
What's it like to be a lying, cheating so of a bitch?
To wear your stories like a badge, to flip the switch?
What's it like to hurt the one who′s always there?
To stab the heart that thought you really cared?
All that story telling—yeah, you′ll find yourself in a ditch
I hear the silence that your words never fill
The space between truth and the lies you distill
You say you′re crucified but you′re the blade in the side
The smoke in the room where my love died
What's it like to be a lying, cheating so of a bitch?
To wear your stories like a badge, to flip the switch?
What's it like to hurt the one who′s always there?
To stab the heart that thought you really cared?
All that story telling—yeah, you′ll find yourself in a ditch
The cold coffee stains, the keys you never find
The trust that′s gone, left far behind
What's it like, really, what's it like to lie?
Because I′m done trying to hear your side
Thanks for watching!
