Lies
James Maslow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Lies lies lies
Lies lies lies

[Verse 1]
Babe, yeah
There's rumors flyin' 'round my head
They say, you've been sleeping with another man
Tell me it ain't nothing (console me)
Shout it baby I'm still (the only)
Without these fingers pointing
So won't you now, now.

[Chorus]
Got me thinkin about this love
Got me wonderin about us
And I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna hear it
Even if what they say is true
Let's pretend that it wasn't true
Baby don't believe it
Cause I don't wanna hear it

[Hook]
Don't wanna hear these lies lies lies lies
Don't wanna hear these lies lies lies lies
Got me thinkin about this love
Got me wonderin about us
And I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna hear it

[Verse 2]
Babe, yeah
These heavy whispers breathing down my neck
No way, could you be playing me behind my back
Tell me it ain't nothing (console me)




Shout it baby I'm still (the only)
Without

The pre-chorus reiterates his worries, as he ponders about his love and wonders about their future. He expresses his desire to live in denial rather than face the truth.
