Lie
Halsey Lyrics

Breakfast is cold, as cold as our bed
The breakfast is as cold as our bed because he has not been giving her any warmth in bed

I'm watching you choke down the words that you said
She is watching him regret the lies he told her earlier

I watch you devour, mistake me for bread
He is using her as a tool and devours her like she is expendable

Well boy, is you fed? Or are you misled?
She ponders if he is content with himself, or if he is just under the illusion that he needs her

I gave you the messiest head
She gave him the messiest head, implying that she gave him everything she had, metaphorically speaking.

You give me the messiest head
He returns the favor only to compare the experiences and hold his own over hers

Oh, you turnin' red
He is feeling embarrassed because she caught him with his guard down

'Cause I'm tryna' give the impression that I get the message you wish I was dead
He wants to give her the impression that he gets her point and confesses that he would rather she sees him dead.

See you 'bouta break a sweat
She can see through the lies and is calling him out on it

I won't let us finish yet
She is withholding her power now that she knows the truth

Please don't take this as a threat
She asserts that her actions are not threatening

All I'm sayin' is if you don't love me no more then lie, lie
She is telling him to lie if he doesn't love her anymore.

I heard what you said (what she say)
He is acknowledging that he heard and understood what she was saying.

You talk about your head game (oh)
He talks about his oral sex experience, implying that he feels like he has the upper hand on her now.

I know that it's fire, flame (fire)
He is confident that he is good at oral sex.

Your mouth make a hurricane (splash)
He thinks her oral sex is so good that he compares it to a natural disaster.

You notice that we in love (love)
He thinks they are in love, but she knows this is a lie.

That's something we cannot change (no)
He thinks they won't make a difference, but she thinks otherwise

It's the plans we should arrange (plans)
He thinks they need future plans despite their failing situation.

Treat her right and she won't complain (yeah)
He insists that she has no reason to complain if he treats her right.

Bring back the title (bring back)
He insists that she brings back the title of their love, which she knows doesn't make sense

She talk like the iPhone (yeah)
She is robotic and fake, like the electronic device

Got no one to lie to (no)
He has nobody to hide the truth from anymore.

There's no need to lie no more (eh)
He acknowledges that there is no point in lying anymore and is glad it's all out in the open.

Bring me a trial (bring)
He accepts the situation for what it is and offers himself to be judged by her.

Every move's vital
He knows that every move he makes is crucial in this moment

What you gon' die for
He asks what is worth dying for, as punching above his weight is no longer an option

When everything you told, lies, alright
He is confessing that everything he told and what he thought he knew was all built on lies.

Lie, lie
All he can do now is apologize.

Lie, lie
He acknowledged his lies.

Lie, lie
Even if she doesn't accept his apology, he owns up to his dishonesty.

Lie, lie
He knows the importance of honesty and the weight of the lies he told.
