Lie To Me
R E D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to kill a broken vow
If only you could find the strength to kill the memories
These empty pages never turn
You lit the flame and let them burn
You tried to bury me so deep but what lies beneath
Will your hope die alone
Can you just turn away and let me go
Lie to me
You can feel
That this love was never real
Walk away
You can learn to love again
Lie to me
You can leave
I'll still be here when you see
Your not alone
You don't have to run again
Leave me in denial
All your secrets crawl inside
You keep them safe, you let them hide
You feel them drinking in your pain to kill the memories
So close your eyes and let it hurt
The voice inside begins to stir
Are you reminded of all you used to be
Can you just turn away and let me go
Lie to me
You can feel
That this love was never real
Walk away
You can learn to love again
Lie to me
Watch me bleed
'Cause I'll still be here when you see
Your not alone
You don't have to run again
Leave me in denial
All the pain you fed
Starts to grow inside
It lives again and you can't let it die
So believe you'll never find
A reason to love again
Lie to me
And watch me bleed
I'll be here when you see
Your not alone
You don't need to run
Lie to me
Watch me bleed
'Cause I'll still be here when you see
Your not alone
You don't have to run again
Leave me in denial
You can learn to love again
Leave me in denial
You can learn to love again
Leave me in denial
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I don't really understand why RED is not very famous although they have so many awesome and addictive songs. They deserve to be known better.

I love this band beyond words. From eccentric rock anthems to depressing hymns, this band will offer everything you can ask from a Christian rock band. Unbelievably talented people.

Ya know, I’ve heard this song MANY times but it only just occurred to me that this song is from Gods point of view to us. “You can leave, I’ll still be here when you see; you’re not alone.” Our father is a patient gentleman, and he will wait for us no matter what happens.

What an excellent observation

Anything can be interpreted in any way you want depending on what thought patterns you've been raised with and learnt throughout your life. Simple as that.
