Lie to Me
Milo Greene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're too young
I made a strong oath, nobody knows
Afraid but I had made the choice
Our lives inside we entwine
Laid up a bent rule
Not capable to stop myself
And trouble your heart soul out of control
Can't you just lie to me? Just lie to me
What you want is beyond my reach
And I'm sorry, could you just lie for me?
Two times, two times I won't try
You were a false hope
You were comfortable
Time now means to fill the void
My mind is starting to lose our time
It's not your fault, I wasn't your want
Who will it take for you
To slow your heart soul out of control
And you want what I'll never be
Can't you just lie to me? Just lie to me
What you want is beyond my reach
And I'm sorry, could you just lie for me?
Don't say it, don't say it. Don't say it, don't say it.
Don't say it, don't say it. Can't you just lie to me?
Don't say it, don't say it [x2]
Don't say it, don't say it (I won't try).
Don't say it, don't say it. Can't you just lie to me? Soul out of control.
And you want what I'll never be
Can't you just lie to me? Just lie to me?
What you want is beyond my reach
And I'm sorry, could you just lie for me?
The lyrics to Milo Greene’s song “Lie to Me” are about a relationship that is reaching its end. The singer tells their partner that they cannot hide the truth any longer and confesses that they are too young and not capable of meeting their partner’s desires. The couple is entwined emotionally, and the singer is afraid to hurt their significant other. The singer acknowledges that they made a choice to be with their partner, but unfortunately, what is wanted is beyond their reach. The song contains a sense of sadness for not being able to meet the partner's desires, and the singer asks their lover to lie to them to keep themselves feeling better, although they know that the lie will not solve the underlying issue.
The song's lyrics also deal with the concept of false hope and how comfortable it is yet also meaningless because it fails to fill the void. The singer concedes that it is not their fault, and they were not their partner's want, but the question remains, who will it take to slow their partner's heart and soul out of control? The constant repetition of "don't say it," "can't you just lie to me," coupled with the mournful melody, give the song a touch of desperation to keep the relationship going despite the inevitable outcome.

Don't say it, don't say it. Don't say it, don't say it.
I don't want to hear you say that you love me or that you want to be with me, because I know it can never happen
I won't try.
I know that I should stop pursuing this before things get even more complicated
Soul out of control.
I feel like I'm losing myself in this situation and I don't know how to regain control
