Lying
PRETTYMUCH Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sorry to call you
So unexpected (It's PRETTYMUCH)
Thought you'd be sleeping, I was gonna leave a message
In case you're wonderin'
I'm countin' blessings (straight up)
Just bought this California King and it's expensive

Haven't picked a side yet, hardly sleep
I've been goin' out
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You did me a favor, honestly
I'm so much better now
Oh yeah, oh yeah (hey, hey, hey)

But I'm lyin' when I talk to you
'Cause you're lyin' under someone new
And I'm dyin', wanna tell the truth
I'm not, oh, I'm not, oh, I'm not over you
But I'm lyin' when I talk to you
'Cause you're lyin' under someone new
And I'm dyin', wanna tell the truth
I'm not, oh, I'm not, oh, I'm not over you (yeah)

It hits me right in the chest
But I still wish you the best
Until I see you again

I see them pictures (I see them pics)
From your vacation (from your vacation)
You look so happy holding hands, congratulations (congratulate)
And if it sound like (and if it sound like)
My voice is shaking (my voice is shaking)
It's 'cause I'm way up in the Hills, my signal's breaking

Haven't picked a side yet, hardly sleep
I've been goin' out (I've been goin' out)
Oh yeah, oh yeah (hey)
You did me a favor, honestly (honestly, yeah)
I'm so much better now (ohh)
Oh yeah, oh yeah

But I'm lyin' when I talk to you
'Cause you're lyin' (ohh) under someone new (someone new)
And I'm dyin', wanna tell the truth
I'm not, oh, I'm not, oh, I'm not over you (you)
But I'm lyin' when I talk to you (you)
'Cause you're lyin' under someone new (someone new)
And I'm dyin', wanna tell the truth (tell you the truth)
I'm not, oh, I'm not, oh, I'm not over you (you, yeah)

Lies, games, questions, names
That's the reason we're facin' these things
Holding my heart now, my shirt got a stain
I guess that's what I get for mistreating my main
Wasn't using my brain, gotta do better
Yeah, I know I messed up, shoulda knew better
Man, I guess I'm just stuck in my ways
I'm just havin', I'm focused on new cheddar
I'm just tryna get the bag now
I done fell in love with cash now
All the feelings in the past that I had to dash
You was left in last round
You was really 'posed to ride with me
Keep it a hundred, don't lie to me
I understand that the truth hurt bad
But it's too late to cry to me (huh, huh, huh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

But I'm lyin' when I talk to you (you)
'Cause you're lyin' under someone new (someone new)
And I'm dyin', wanna tell the truth (tell you the truth)
I'm not, oh, I'm not, oh, I'm not over you (yeah)

It hits me right in the chest (hits me right in the chest)
But I still wish you the best
Until I see you again (see you again)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

It hits me right in the chest (chest)
But I still wish you the best
Don't read my last couple texts
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) (you feel a lie)

It hits me right in the chest (you feel a lie)
But I still wish you the best (don't fear, baby)
Until I see you again (this is it, baby)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

It hits me right in the chest
But I still wish you the best
Don't read my last couple texts

But I'm lyin' when I talk to you
'Cause you're lyin' under someone new




And I'm dyin', wanna tell the truth
I'm not, oh, I'm not, oh, I'm not over you (you)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to PRETTYMUCH's song "Lying" express the pain and struggle of moving on from a past relationship. The singer admits to lying about being over his ex and how he feels cheated on after seeing her happy with someone new. He also acknowledges his mistakes in the past and takes responsibility for his previous actions. The chorus of the song is a repetition of a confession that he is not over his ex, and despite trying to move on, he cannot resist the pain of seeing her with someone else.


The song's verses are full of personal anecdotes, such as buying an expensive California King but not being able to sleep fully, going out often to forget the pain, and speaking to his ex-lover while still holding onto feelings. The lyrics also convey a sense of desperation and anxiety, with the singer confessing how he wishes things were different but accepting that he has to move on.
