Lying
Amy Meredith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You smell of him, do we need to call the doctor
I don't know where you've been
Was it worth it, was it worth it
Sit tight, this might
Be the first time that I caught you out
You got to think twice, this might,
I know your lying to me,
Cause your palms start to sweat
And your knees are getting heavy
Eyes closed,
Your lying to me when your heart starts to race,
And your feet are getting ready
Your fumbling for the phone on the wall
There's nobody left to call
Cause there's no one out there
It's hard to believe that no one can see the writing on the wall
I woke up again last night. Let the party begin
And we'll live happily ever after
I'm making you wait outside
Cause I'm worth it yeah I'm worth it
Dressed to impress now
Looking your best
And you wanna get away from me
But you're obsessed with the sex girl
Should I confess that you never got the best from me
I know your lying to me,
Cause your palms start to sweat
And your knees are getting heavy
Eyes closed,
Your lying to me when your heart starts to race,
And your feet are getting ready
Your fumbling for the phone on the wall
There's nobody left to call
There's no one out there
It's hard to believe that no one can see the writing on the wall
Don't stop now you're ready to go
We're at the best part of the show
Turn the lights out it's over.
The nights just about to explode
I know your lying to me,
Cause your palms start to sweat
And your knees are getting heavy
Eyes closed,
Your lying to me when your heart starts to race,
And your feet are getting ready
Your fumbling for the phone on the wall
There's nobody left to call
There's no one out there
It's hard to believe that no one can see the writing on the wall
Don't stop now don't stop now
Turn the lights out it's over.
The nights just about to explode
The song "Lying" by Amy Meredith is about a narrator suspecting they are being cheated on by their partner. The first verse implies that the singer has woken up in the middle of the night to find their partner smelling like someone else. The singer questions if the behavior is worth it and if they need to see a doctor. The second verse builds on this narrative with the singer describing their partner's suspicious behavior such as sweating palms, heavy knees, and a racing heart.
The chorus has a repetitive structure that emphasizes the singer's realization that their partner is lying to them. The singer describes instances in which their partner is lying such as a quickened heartbeat and fumbling for the phone on the wall. The bridge of the song builds up to the climax suggesting that the partner is ready to leave the singer behind and pursue their sexual desires.
As a whole, "Lying" uses vivid imagery to show how painful it can be to realize that someone you trusted has betrayed you. The song is a cautionary tale about choosing partners wisely and being aware of red flags that indicate dishonesty and infidelity.
