Lie to Me
Relic Hearts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lie to me
Make it so I question myself constantly
Dig into the shadows
Of a broken heart
There's mother time or place
I could even start
When you shove me to the gallows
I'm so tired of this illusion
The blame, the hate, the disillusion
We carry so much weight and anger
We both know you can't run forever

So lie to me
Love to stay here
Hope and praying
Something I'd believe
But you took my heart and you tore it apart
Ripped away my pride and dignity

I can't breathe
I'm broken, battered
Feel so shattered
I can see
Giving into emptyness so
I belive there's no other way back
To the way we used to be
Just rip this all away because

I'm tired of this illusion
The blame, the hate, the disillusion
I carry so much weight and anger
We both know you can't run forever

So lie to me
Love to stay here
Hope and praying
Something I'd believe
But you took my heart and you tore it apart
Ripped away my pride and dignity

All things good and gone with me
All things good are wild and free
I'll break free
I'll break free

So lie to me
Love to stay here
Hope and praying
Something I'd believe




But you took my heart and you tore it apart
Ripped away my pride and dignity

Overall Meaning

The song "Lie to Me" by Relic Hearts is about a relationship where one partner is being lied to constantly. The lyrics express the feeling of being tired of the illusion that the relationship is based on, and the hope of something being said that they can actually believe. The opening lines say, "Lie to me, make it so I question myself constantly, dig into the shadows of a broken heart." Here, the singer is asking their partner to keep lying to them, to make it harder for them to trust themselves.


The chorus of the song repeats the line "So lie to me, love to stay here, hope and praying, something I'd believe." The singer is pleading to their partner to keep pretending that everything is okay, that they are still in love and that the relationship has a future. However, in the end, the singer acknowledges that their heart has been broken: "But you took my heart and you tore it apart, ripped away my pride and dignity."


At the heart of "Lie to Me" is the struggle between holding onto hope and facing the reality of a failed relationship. The singer wants to believe that their partner still loves them, but deep down, they know that the relationship is over. The lyrics are raw and emotional, and the music mirrors this intensity.
