Sweet Lies
Beres Hammond Lyrics

Another big wheel turning
Things are constantly moving forward and changing, whether we like it or not.

As di big wheel coming, oh God
The changes and challenges can be overwhelming and difficult to handle at times.

Now Jack is the mack and he comes around every Monday
There is always someone trying to win your affection or attention, sometimes with disingenuous motives.

All Tuesday and Wednesday
This person is persistent, coming around day after day to try and charm you.

Every day of the week
Their efforts to woo you are constant and unrelenting.

And even though I try to tell you that I love you
Despite my genuine feelings for you, I recognize that you may be swayed by someone else's insincere words.

From the bottom of my heart
My love for you is deep and true.

You had no place for me
Unfortunately, it seems as though you have chosen someone else over me and my feelings.

It's all vanity now
Those superficial and false words of affection are meaningless in the end.

You fell for one a them sweet lies (sweet lies)
You were taken in by someone's lies and false promises, despite having doubts.

The kind you doubt still you want to believe (sweet lies)
Despite your doubts or suspicions, there is a part of you that wants to believe in these sweet lies.

When the heart's not hearing
Even when our intuition is telling us something is off, our hearts can still be swayed by sweet words.

What the brain is saying
Our logic and rational mind can recognize when something is not quite right, but it can be ignored in the face of emotional manipulation.

And you're weak in the knees
You are so taken in by these sweet lies that you feel physically weak and unsteady.

Now the wine and the roses
The symbols of romance and wooing have stopped coming around, indicating a loss of affection or interest.

Stop coming around sometime ago
This loss of attention has been going on for a while, though you may not want to admit it.

But you won't admit that so, you pretend
You are trying to hold onto the illusion of affection by pretending that everything is still as it was.

I know it's hard to look your best
You may be feeling insecure, knowing that this person is no longer trying to impress you with romantic gestures.

Wearing that same old shabby dress
You may be feeling unattractive or undesired, leading to thoughts of self-doubt or inadequacy.

So you stay at home, waiting by the phone
You are holding onto hope that this person will come back, even as you recognize that it may not be realistic or healthy.

It gives me no pleasure to say
It is difficult for me to share this truth with you, as I know it will hurt.

I told you so (I told you so)
Despite my warnings or concerns, it seems as though you were not able to resist the sweet lies that were told to you.

It's been hard to keep it low
It has been difficult for me to keep my feelings to myself, knowing that you may be hurt or upset by this situation.

Knowing the things I know
I may have inside information or a more objective perspective on the situation, leading me to be even more concerned for your welfare.

Maybe in another place and in another time
Despite the difficulties of this current situation, there could be a future where you are able to find true love and happiness.

Under different circumstances
Perhaps in a different context or with different people, you would be better able to find a genuine connection.

You will find happiness so I suggest
I truly believe that you will be able to find happiness and love again, but it may require you to take different actions or make different choices.

Don't take foolish chances no
You should not fall for the same sweet lies again, as it is unlikely to lead to genuine affection or happiness.

When you see big wheel coming
Stay alert and aware, as there will always be people trying to manipulate or take advantage of your emotions.

The kind you doubt still you want to believe now (sweet lie)
Despite having experienced the pain and disappointment of being taken in by sweet lies, there is a part of you that still wants to believe in them.

When the heart's in doubt you, know to stay out
When you are feeling unsure or doubt the sincerity of someone's words, it is best to avoid getting involved and risking further heartbreak.

Now Jack's on the corner, flirting with another
The cycle of manipulation and false affection is likely to continue, as there will always be people like Jack who try to take advantage of vulnerable people.

And your life is over, now
This situation may have left you feeling hopeless or broken, but there is always a chance to rebuild and find happiness again.

(Sweet lies, sweet lies)
The repetition of this phrase underscores the pervasive and insidious nature of sweet lies.

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
This vocalization adds emotional depth and weight to the song, underscoring the pain and heartbreak of the situation.
