Lily Massie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gladly look away
Cause youre just so beautiful
Oh man
I feel it coming
Heartbreak lurking
Around the corner
Home later that you usually do
Aw damn
Something has changed
Is your heart wrapped up in somebody's chains
Now I'm just over here racking my brain over you
So tell me sweet little lies
Tell me sweet little beautiful merciful lies
I wish i knew why
You know how to break my heart everytime
Truth is overrated
I gladly look away
Cause youre just so beautiful
I Chose to be ignorant
Your Guilty but innocent
Cause you're so fucking beautiful
Till I open my eyes
Oh until I open my eyes
Oh damn
Caught in ya ways believed ya lies
Left me crying for days
Love lost but
Happiness gained
I know I don't need you
Aw no
Don't try to convince me
Hoping i stay
Baby, please babe forgive me
Who knew your lies would actually save me
Now I don't want you
So tell me sweet little lies
Tell me sweet little beautiful merciful lies
I wish i knew why
You knew how to break my heart everytime
Truth is overrated
I gladly look away
Cause you're just so beautiful
I Chose to be ignorant
Your Guilty but innocent
Cause you're so fucking beautiful
Till I open my eyes oh until I open my eyes
I shoulda saw it coming
Cause you were never honest
I'm just so sick of the lies
Love is so blind
Till I open my eyes oh oh oh oh oh oh
Until I open my eyes
In these lyrics, Lily Massie reflects on the idea that sometimes the truth is overrated and she would rather turn a blind eye to it because the person she's singing about is so beautiful to her. She acknowledges that she feels a sense of impending heartbreak and senses that something has changed in the person's behavior. She wonders if their heart is now tied to someone else. She's left confused and trying to understand why this person has the power to break her heart repeatedly.
She pleads for the person to tell her sweet little lies, hoping that they will give her some comfort and ease the pain. She expresses a desire to know why this person has the ability to repeatedly break her heart. Again, she mentions that she willingly looks away from the truth because she finds them so beautiful.
Lily then describes how she was caught up in the person's ways and believed their lies, resulting in days of crying. However, she realizes that she doesn't need this person in her life anymore. She asks them not to try to convince her to stay, as their lies have actually saved her from this toxic relationship. She confirms that she no longer wants them.
She reiterates that she willingly chose to be ignorant and sees the person as both guilty and innocent. Despite their deceit, she still finds them incredibly beautiful. But she knows that until she opens her eyes and faces reality, she will continue to be under their spell.
In the final verse, Lily admits that she should have seen the deception coming because the person was never honest with her. She expresses her frustration with the lies and acknowledges that love can be blind. The song concludes with her longing to open her eyes, implying she's determined to face the truth and move on from this unhealthy relationship.
