Lie
Playboi Carti Leaks - 3 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, why did you have to lie
[00:38.54]My tears are running dry [00:40.63]
And anyone can see
The things you did to me
My strength is going low
I really want to know
You didn't even try
Why did you have to lie

Oh I'm
So cold I'm
Too stiff to breathe or want to
Shadows
Come creeping
Into my mind
It's time, it's time, and I'll never forget
All the things that you did, well you said that you'd do them
And why, and oh why, could I have ever known that you would
Well I'll know for next time, and
I have wasted so much time
Because you said I'd be alright
Oh, why did you have to lie
[01:49.58]My tears are running dry [01:51.76]
And anyone can see
The things you did to me
My strength is going low
I really want to know
You didn't even try
Why did you have to lie
I shouldn't need two verses
To tell you how I feel
My life is full of curses
But that's what makes it real
I might try... I might die
I might jump off the roof and fly
I might cry… Say goodbye
But you're the one who lied
I have wasted so much time
Because you said I'd be alright
Oh, why did you have to lie
[03:00.63]My tears are running dry [03:02.81]
I really wish that I could catch a break
My strength is going low
I really want to know
You didn't even try
Why did you have to lie
Oh, why did you have to lie
[03:18.52]My tears are running dry [03:20.66]
I really wish that I could catch a break
My strength is going low
I really want to know
You didn't even try
Why did you have to lie
Oh, why did you have to lie
[03:36.21]My tears are running dry [03:38.44]
And anyone can see
The things you did to me
My strength is going low
I really want to know

You didn't even try
Why did you have to lie
