Lies
Jonathan Roy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know how it's hard to see
I feel it too,I feel it too
You are making me
Breaking me with all those lies
Making me cry through the night
I'm lost in my lies
My true life I will deny
You see what you do
The lies that you prove
The way that you do makes me want to lie too
You see what you do
The lies that you prove
The way that you do makes me want to lie too
So lost can't you see
Maybe this is how it be
I see it too, I see it too
Do you like me, the way that I want to be?
You don't, so I lie at times.
You are making me
Breaking me with all those lies
Making me cry through the night
I'm lost in my lies
My true life I will deny
So lost, can't get out
You see what you do
The lies that you prove
The way that you do makes me want to lie too
You see what you do
The lies that you prove
The way that you do makes me want to lie too
The song "Lies" by Jonathan Roy portrays the feeling of being lost and misguided in a relationship where lies have become the norm. The lyrics express the idea that one person's constant deception can lead the other person to also lie in order to protect themselves and maintain the relationship. The singer expresses their frustration and sadness over the situation, feeling as though they are spiralizing out of control.
The first verse starts with the singer acknowledging the effect that the lies have had on them, and questioning why their partner can't see how damaging they are. The second verse speaks directly to the partner, accusing them of causing the singer to also become a liar as a result of their actions. The chorus repeats the theme of the lies being contagious, and the singer feeling helpless and unable to break free from the cycle of deception.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the toxicity of lying and how it can ultimately destroy a relationship, turning both people involved into someone they don't want to be.
