Lie to Me
Jacqueline Thuy Tram Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So lie to me.
Lie to me.
Lie to me.
Lie to me.

So lie to me and say that you′ll never leave
I promise that I'll believe
Don′t wanna be all ...alone

Lie to me and say what I want to hear
As long as I have you near
I know I can carry... on

This is my destiny I will never find love
But let me hold on a while before I'm all on my own

Go on keep fooling me I don't want to let go
No matter what comes our way
I will always hold on

All of my life.
You will never be mine.

So lie to me and say that you′ll never leave
I promise that I′ll believe
Don't wanna be all alone
So lie to me and say what I want to hear
As long as I have you near
I know I can carry... on

Go on keep fooling me
I don′t wanna let go
No matter what comes our way
I will always hold on

All of my life
You will never be mine...

So lie to me (just lie to me)
And say that you'll never leave (say that you′ll never leave)
I promise that I'll believe
Don′t wanna be all alone (all alone)
So lie to me (just lie to me)
And say what I want to hear (say what I want to hear)
As long as I have you near
I know I can carry... on

Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me

Lie to me
So lie to me...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jacqueline Thuy Tram's song "Lie to Me" express a sense of desperation and longing for emotional connection, despite the knowledge that the relationship may not be genuine. The repeated plea for the other person to lie signifies the singer's preference for a sense of security and comfort in falsehood, rather than facing the potential pain of the truth. Holding on to this love, even if it's deceitful, is the only thing that keeps the singer going: "I know I can carry on."

The second verse further emphasizes this desperation, as the singer acknowledges that they will never find true love, but they are willing to hold on to this mirage for as long as they can. The repeated mention of not wanting to be alone and always holding on conveys the profound need for connection and the fear of being without it. The outro of the song, as she repeats the title, emphasizes this theme of wanting to be lied to as a means of avoiding the reality of being alone.
