He began playing the piano at the age of 2 and by middle school mastered the flute. After high school, Kelly attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music, and after graduation in 2002 returned to Manhattan. Through networking and word of mouth, Kelly met as many producers as he could, and by 2002 had written a song that ended up a compilation by the Japanese clothing line A Bathing Ape. "It was a lucky break," he said. "It boosted my confidence." Kelly got his big break when he wrote the song, "Daddy's Little Girl" for Frankie J's 2006 album, Priceless. Although it didn't chart well, he said, watching his song go from recording to mixing to mastering to music video was the confirmation that he needed to press on. Kelly’s work so impressed Akon that in late 2007, the singer suggested Kelly write to some of his music, one of which was "Forgive Me", written for Leona Lewis' debut album and produced by Akon respectively. Another song he wrote was "Hold My Hand" which was set to feature on Akon's third album, however the song leaked and it was decided not to be included in the album. The song features Michael Jackson. At present, he's working with Whitney Houston and Christina Aguilera.

Your Lies
Claude Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Not Sure I'm Ready To Leave
But I Don't Think It's Safe If I Stay
And The Burden Of Loving You Is Heavy For Me
Yeah (yeah)
But I Just Can't Seem To Turn And Walk Away

'Cause everytime that I feel at home is when I'm lookin in your eyes (your eyes)
And the only truth that I've ever known is when you're tellin me your lies (your lies)
Now I can't tell a lie, it's all a blur, not really sure, if you're a blessing or curse
And the only truth that I've ever known is when you're tellin me your lies (your lies), and I...

Loves been a disaster for me
What started out so beautiful has turned to pain
What happened to my happily ever after
See I know that it's been over for a while but I can't break away (break away)

'Cause everytime that I feel at home is when I'm lookin in your eyes (your eyes)
And the only truth that I've ever known is when you're tellin me your lies (your lies)
Now I can't tell a lie, it's all a blur, not really sure, if you're a blessing or curse
And the only truth that I've ever known is when you're tellin me your lies (your lies), and I...

Got me holding on to ya...
Got me confused I don't know what's real or fake
Baby now the only thing I'm used ta
Everyday, everynight, all the time I hear your lies

'Cause everytime that I feel at home is when I'm lookin in your eyes (your eyes)
And the only truth that I've ever known is when you're tellin me your lies (your lies)




Now I can't tell a lie, it's all a blur, not really sure, if you're a blessing or curse
And the only truth that I've ever known is when you're tellin me your lies (your lies)
