Joshua Bassett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running all over my name, oh
And you're acting oh so innocent
Like I'm the only one to blame
You've been lying to yourself
Lie to everyone else
Only thinking about yourself
I know what you say about me
I hope that it makes you happy
You can't seem to get me off your mind, oh
I know you're lying through your teeth
You told them the lies that you told me
I've had enough of it this time
So you can lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Go ahead and try, try, try, try, try
It won't work this time, time, time, time, time
I kiss your ass goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Kiss your ass goodbye
So you're telling them it's all my fault
You're the victim this time, oh
And you wanna make it seem like it's your call
You're acting like everything's fine
You've been lying to yourself
Lie to everyone else
Only thinking about yourself
Darling what the hell
I know what you say about me
I hope that it makes you happy
You can't seem to get me off your mind, oh
I know you're lying through your teeth
You told them the lies that you told me
I've had enough of it this time
I know what you say about me
Oh, you can't get me off your mind
I know what you say about me
I hope that it makes you happy
You can't seem to get me off your mind, oh
I know you're lying through your teeth
You told them the lies that you told me
I've had enough of it this time
You can lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Go ahead and try, try, try, try, try
It won't work this time, time, time, time, time
I kiss your ass goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Kiss your ass goodbye
The lyrics from Joshua Bassett's song "Lie Lie Lie" tell a story of betrayal and lies. In the first verse, the singer is being told by others about hurtful things that their partner has said about them behind their back. The partner is trying to play the innocent victim while blaming the singer for everything. The chorus then asserts that the partner has been lying not just to the singer, but to everyone else, and they've only been thinking about themselves. The singer has had enough of the lies and decides to break up.
In the second verse, the partner is continuing to spread lies about the singer, portraying themselves as the victim, and trying to make it seem like they are the ones in control of the situation. The chorus is repeated, continuing to assert that the partner has been lying and that the singer has had enough. The song ends with the final declaration of goodbye.
Overall, the song is a strong statement of the vocalist's need to break free from a toxic and dishonest relationship. It's an anthem for anyone who's been betrayed and wants to take control of their lives.
Line by Line Meaning
So they told me all the things that you said
I was informed about all the negative things youโve been saying about me
Running all over my name, oh
You have been spreading rumors and lies about me
And you're acting oh so innocent
Despite your actions, you're pretending to be innocent and not accepting any blame
Like I'm the only one to blame
You're trying to put all the blame on me, even though you're the one lying
You've been lying to yourself
You've been deceiving yourself about the truth of the situation
Lie to everyone else
You've been lying to other people about me and the situation
Only thinking about yourself
You're only concerned about your own interests and not considering how your lies will affect others
Darling what the hell
What in the world are you thinking?
I know what you say about me
I am aware of what you've been saying behind my back
I hope that it makes you happy
I hope that spreading lies about me brings you some twisted sense of pleasure
You can't seem to get me off your mind, oh
You are constantly thinking about me and trying to bring me down
I know you're lying through your teeth
I know that you are not telling the truth and are instead lying to everyone
You told them the lies that you told me
You have repeated the same lies to others that you told me in the past
I've had enough of it this time
I am tired of your constant lies and manipulation
So you can lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
You can continue to lie all you want
Go ahead and try, try, try, try, try
Keep trying to deceive people with your lies and manipulation
It won't work this time, time, time, time, time
Your lies will not have an impact this time, as I am aware of the truth
I kiss your ass goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye
I am done with you and will no longer put up with your lies and drama
So you're telling them it's all my fault
You're trying to make it seem like everything is my fault, even though it's not true
You're the victim this time, oh
You're portraying yourself as the victim in this situation, even though you're the one lying
And you wanna make it seem like it's your call
You're trying to make it seem like everything is under your control
You can lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
You can continue to lie as much as you want
I know what you say about me
I am aware of your actions and know that you're spreading lies about me
Oh, you can't get me off your mind
Despite everything, you're still constantly thinking about me
