I Lied
Raphaella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On paper you're better you should be my type
You're the kind of lover my parents would like
And you bring me flowers and kiss me goodnight
We stay up for hours but I'm dead inside

I've got decisions feeling calling
On my skin and I can't ever pull it off
When we're kissing I still thinking
Bout the way his lips were always soft

I wish that I could give you what he's stolen
I wish that I could fix what it's broken
I told you I was fine in that moment
I promise I'll try, promise I'll try
I'm sorry I lied

Now I wasn't looking, you felt in my lap
My head was still spinning, my ears were still ringing
I honestly wanted to fall for you back
You are so good for me but I want the bad

I got the sinking feeling growing
In my stomach you won't ever be enough
No, and when we're kissing I'm still
Thinking bout the way his lips were always soft
I wish that I could give you what he's stolen
I wish that I could fix what it's broken
I told you I was fine in that moment
I promise I'll try, promise I'll try
I'm sorry I lied

I'm sorry I lied
I'm sorry I lied
I'm sorry I lied
I'm sorry I lied

I'm sorry ohhh
I'm sorry I lied




(I'm sorry I lied)
I'm sorry I lied

Overall Meaning

In the song "I Lied" by Raphaella, the singer apologizes to her lover for lying about her feelings towards him. The lyrics describe how she initially thought that he was the perfect partner for her, but she realizes she cannot give him what he deserves because she is still in love with someone else. She admits that she lied about being fine with the situation, and promises to try and make things right. Throughout the song, she expresses remorse and sadness, as she knows that she has hurt him, and she is sorry for her actions.


The first verse describes how he is the epitome of what she is looking for in a partner, but despite his endearing qualities, she is "dead inside" and is unable to reciprocate his love. The second verse reveals that she met someone else who made her heart race, and she misses the sensation of being with them, making it impossible for her to love her current partner fully. She wishes she could give her partner what they truly deserve, but alas it is impossible as she is still in love with the other person.


Overall, the song portrays the struggle to choose between being with someone who is good for you but cannot give you the excitement you crave or being with someone who is not good for you but gives you that thrill. It reflects the emotional turmoil that comes with the realization of not being able to provide what is needed in a relationship and the guilt that comes along with that.

LYRICS
When we are together
We go up when the sun goes down
Forget about forever, ooh-ooh
All I know is I want you now

'Cause your hand don't fit in mine and it never will
Gotta get this off my mind, but I never will
The truth is hard sometimes, so every night

I'm lying with a lie, 'cause I don't wanna hurt you
Lying is just easier than hurting you
With a lie, it's not because I want to
Lying is just easier than hurting you
With a lie lie, lie lie, lie lie
Lying with a lie lie, lie lie, lie
Lying with a lie, 'cause I don't wanna hurt you
Lying is just easier than hurting you

We go up to heaven, ah-ah
It's not love, but we're falling down, oh-oh
Is it pain or pleasure? Oh-ooh-ooh
All I know is I want you now

'Cause your hand don't fit in mine and it never will
Gotta get this off my mind, but I never will
The truth is hard sometimes, so every night

I'm lying with a lie, 'cause I don't wanna hurt you
Lying is just easier than hurting you
With a lie, it's not because I want to
Lying is just easier than hurting you
With a lie lie, lie lie, lie lie
Lying with a lie lie, lie lie, lie
Lying with a lie, 'cause I don't wanna hurt you
Lying is just easier than hurting you

('Cause I don't wanna...
Lying is just easier than hurting you
'Cause I don't wanna...
Lying is just easier than hurting you)

Lying with a lie, 'cause I don't wanna hurt you
Lying is just easier than hurting you
With a lie, it's not because I want to
Lying is just easier than hurting you
With a lie lie, lie lie, lie lie
Lying with a lie lie, lie lie, lie
Lying with a lie, 'cause I don't wanna hurt you
Lying is just easier than hurting you
