Lie To Me
Last Perfect Thing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come around when you want some
I've been used
Losing these years
Tight grip
Another night spent on the mattress
So confused by you here
Love the sound
Love the sound of your own voice
I still crash
Hearing screaming
Tight grip
Another night trapped
In another fight
Lost in another place
Space takes a second
See?
It's over, it's over
I can give you anything and
Everything you ever wanted!
Your deceptive eyes connect with mine
I know you got a secret
Lie to me
You hypnotize inside the signs
I know you got a secret
Lie to me
Lie to me
So be here now
'Cause this is the best part
We'll watch you burn
The ground I walk on
That I walk on
You stand there proud
But you don't deserve it
You'll always bring a crowd
You'll always sell it out
Your deceptive eyes connect with mine
I know you got a secret
Lie to me
You hypnotize inside the signs
I know you got a secret
Lie to me
Lie to me
Just don't why I can't make you dance if I wanted to
Just don't know, I just don't know I know, I just don't know, I...
Just don't why I can't make you dance if I wanted to!
Just don't know why I can't get you to dance!
Just don't why I can't make you dance if I wanted to!
Just don't know why I can't get you to dance!
Your deceptive eyes connect with mine
I know you got a secret
Lie to me
You hypnotize inside the signs
I know you got a secret
Lie to me
Your deceptive eyes connect with mine
I know you got a secret
Lie to me
You hypnotize inside the signs
I know you got a secret
Lie to me
Lie to me!
I know you got a secret
I know you got a secret
I know you got a secret
I know you got a secret
I know you got a secret
I know you got a secret
I know you got a secret
I know you got a secret
The lyrics to "Lie To Me" by Last Perfect Thing explore themes of deception, confusion, and emotional manipulation in a relationship. The singer seems to be in a toxic and tumultuous relationship with their partner, who they believe is hiding a secret from them. Despite feeling used and confused, the singer is still drawn to their partner and loves the sound of their voice. The chorus repeats the phrase "Lie to me," indicating that the singer would rather be lied to than face the truth about their partner's secrets and potentially lose them forever.
The second verse describes the singer's feelings of being trapped in the relationship, yet still willing to give their partner everything they want. The lines "We'll watch you burn / The ground I walk on" indicate that despite the toxic nature of the relationship, the singer still has a strong attachment and emotional investment in their partner. The repetitive lines at the end of the song ("I know you got a secret / Lie to me") further emphasize the theme of deception and the singer's willingness to overlook it in order to keep their relationship intact.
Interestingly, the song title "Lie To Me" has been used in multiple songs by different artists, including a hit by Bon Jovi (2000).

Come around
I want you to visit me
Come around when you want some
Visit me whenever you feel like it
I've been used
I've been taken advantage of
Losing these years
Wasting my time on things and people not worth it
Tight grip
Holding onto something tightly
Another night spent on the mattress
Another night spent sleeping on the bed
So confused by you here
Feeling puzzled by your presence
Love the sound
Enjoying the tone
Love the sound of your own voice
Enjoying hearing yourself talk
I still crash
I still feel the impact
Hearing screaming
Hearing someone shouting loudly
Another night trapped
Another night stuck
In another fight
In another argument
Lost in another place
Feeling lost in another location
Space takes a second
It takes time to process things
See?
Do you understand?
It's over, it's over
The relationship is finished
I can give you anything and everything you ever wanted!
I can provide you with all the things you desire!
Your deceptive eyes connect with mine
I sense that you are lying to me
I know you got a secret
I know that you are hiding something
Lie to me
Please continue to deceive me
You hypnotize inside the signs
You put me under a spell with your actions
So be here now
Be present in this moment
'Cause this is the best part
This is the most enjoyable moment
We'll watch you burn
We'll see you suffer
The ground I walk on
The place where I exist
That I walk on
A place of significance
You stand there proud
You are confident and self-assured
But you don't deserve it
You are not worthy of the attention and admiration
You'll always bring a crowd
You will always attract people
You'll always sell it out
You'll always be able to generate sales
Just don't why I can't make you dance if I wanted to
I don't understand why I can't influence your actions
Just don't know, I just don't know I know, I just don't know, I...
I am confused and unsure
