Lie to Me
George ft. Royalty Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking down the street with my hand at my side
My luck's run out but I’ll get it next Time
Tasted it before, but I can’t describe
The feelin' that I’m feelin' when I look inside
Miss you, kiss you
How can I get through to you?
I’m never gonna be the same again
Take me, break me

You really suffocate me
You took it just a little too far
But I loved it when it was
Whatever it was
Whatever it was
Whatever it was
Feelin' kinda blind but I don’t know why
The sun's been gone for a very very long time
Taken by surprise when you came in the room
I’d walk right out if I knew just what you do
Miss you, kiss you
How can I get through to you?
I’m never gonna be the same again
Take me, break me
You really suffocate me
You took it just a little too far
But I loved it when it was
Whatever it was
Whatever it was
Whatever it was
I’ve got no issues with you anymore
To tell the truth
The truth ain’t my thing
I gotta cool my head before I
Feel the shame
Miss you, kiss you
How can I get through to you?
I’m never gonna be the same again
Take me, break me
You really suffocate me
You took it just a little too far
But I loved it when it was
Whatever it was
Whatever it was
Whatever it was
Miss you, kiss you
How can I get through to you?
I’m never gonna be the same again
Want it, flaunt it
Fake it 'til you make it
A little lie ain’t hurtin' no one
But I loved it when it was
Whatever it was
Whatever it was

Whatever it was
Whatever it was

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from George ft. Royalty's song Lie To Me convey a sense of confusion, desire, and longing for a past lover. The singer of the song seems to be struggling with the aftermath of a failed relationship, as they walk down the street with their luck seemingly having run out. They have tasted love before but cannot describe the feeling they are currently experiencing. The chorus repeats the lines "Miss you, kiss you, how can I get through to you? I'm never gonna be the same again, take me, break me, you really suffocate me, you took it just a little too far, but I loved it when it was whatever it was." They long to be with their former partner but also acknowledge the toxicity of the relationship.

The lyrics then take a turn towards a sense of detachment as the singer claims to have no issues with their former partner anymore, yet they still feel a sense of shame. The last lines of the song repeat the previous chorus but with a new line "want it, flaunt it, fake it 'til you make it, a little lie ain't hurtin' no one, but I loved it when it was whatever it was." The singer seems to be struggling with their own integrity and the temptation to fake their emotions and memories of their past relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

Walking down the street with my hand at my side
Strolling without a care in the world

My luck's run out but I’ll get it next Time
Certainly not lucky, but hopeful for the future

Tasted it before, but I can’t describe The feelin' that I’m feelin' when I look inside
Familiar sensation, yet inexplicable

Miss you, kiss you How can I get through to you?
Longing for connection and communication

I’m never gonna be the same again
Changed forever, unable to go back

Take me, break me You really suffocate me You took it just a little too far But I loved it when it was Whatever it was
Pushing limits, enjoying the thrill of it all

Feelin' kinda blind but I don’t know why The sun's been gone for a very very long time Taken by surprise when you came in the room I’d walk right out if I knew just what you do
Confused and wary, cautious about new people and experiences

I’ve got no issues with you anymore To tell the truth The truth ain’t my thing I gotta cool my head before I Feel the shame
No hard feelings, but honesty is difficult and avoidance seems easier

Want it, flaunt it Fake it 'til you make it A little lie ain’t hurtin' no one But I loved it when it was Whatever it was
Pursuing what is desired, even if it means pretending or deceiving
