All the Lies Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were gonna go to Paris
We were gonna get tattoos
Told my mama I would marry you
Started building a foundation
Me, you from the ground straight up
We built our walls so strong no one got through

[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me all the things I wanna hear
When I'm gone, you say you want me near
You look me in the eyes, say that we will stay for life
These feelings that we caught won’t disappear

[Chorus]
Of all the lies I heard
"I love you" was my favourite
I know goodbyes, they hurt
I need to hear you say it
One time before I go, whisper it slow
Of all the lies I heard
"I love you" was my favourite

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, say it slow
Oh-oh-oh, say it
"I love you" was my favourite
Oh-oh-oh, say it slow
Oh-oh-oh, say it
"I love you" was my favourite
[Verse 2]
You told me you and him were good friends
Known him since you've been at school
Told me I was overthinking like I do
You said I didn't need to worry
We’d get along 'cause he's so cool
Girl, you must've thought I was some kind of fool

[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me all the things I wanna hear
When I'm gone, you say you want me near
You look me in the eyes, say that we will stay for life
These feelings that we caught won't disappear

[Chorus]
Of all the lies I heard
"I love you" was my favourite
I know goodbyes, they hurt
I need to hear you say it
One time before I go, whisper it slow
Of all the lies I heard
"I love you" was my favourite

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, say it slow
Oh-oh-oh, say it
"I love you" was my favourite
Oh-oh-oh, say it slow
Oh-oh-oh, say it
"I love you" was my favourite
[Chorus]
Of all the lies I heard
"I love you" was my favourite
I know goodbyes, they hurt
I need to hear you say it
One time before I go, whisper it slow
Of all the lies I heard
"I love you" was my favourite

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“All the Lies” samples “Rain” by The Script. It brings the three music powerhouses of Alok, Felix Jaehn, and the Vamps together. The song deals with what could have been and happened in the relationship which has been ruined by the lies of a significant other and wanting to hear one one more time – ‘I love you’ before presumably parting ways.
