Lie To My Face Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Honestly, I thought your honesty meant something to you
In the end, all of your words were hot air
But I told myself I had not found love once again
You tell me it's all in my head, tell me I imagined all of it
That there's no one else, so don't worry
But we're always wiser in the end

[Chorus]
Go on and lie to my face
Tell me again how you love me while kissing another girl
Lie to my face
Say that you need me, without us there's no other way
Tell me this won't ever end
Tell me it over and over again
Lie to me my friend

[Verse 2]
I saw you looking at her
You said you were friends but I knew that you weren't
What is a girl meant to do, when she discovers her man is a fool
I know she's playing with you, but this ain't a game
I thought this here was true

[Chorus]
So go on and lie to my face
Tell me again how you love me while kissing another girl
Lie to my face
Say that you need me, without us there's no other way
Tell me this won't ever end
Tell me it over and over again
Tell me this won't ever end
Tell me it over and over again
[Bridge]
Lie to me
Oh, lie to me

[Chorus]
Tell me this won't ever end
Tell me it over and over and over again
Lie to my face
Say that you need me, without us there's no other way

Genius Annotation

“Lie To My Face” is the closing track off of Alice Merton’s No Roots EP. Alice set out to make the production of the song as dark and dramatic as the moment she discovered the truth about someone she cared about a lot.

Alice in an interview with CoS:

I wanted to make the production of the song as dramatic and dark as the moment, when I discovered the truth about someone I had cared about a lot. And instead of getting upset about this, I wanted to do the exact opposite in the lyrics by encouraging this behaviour, to keep on lying and keeping secrets.
