Been Lying
Rita Ora Lyrics
Don't wear my shades to be cool
I wear them to hide my tears from you
Behind the smoke I'm so red eye
And I'm tired of you asking why
I said I've been lying to you
And I've been lying to me too
My heart has been through hell and back
I've only dressed in pretty and black
Middle finger when it comes to love
Cause I've been lying to you
I said I've been lying to me too
I've been lying, lying to you
Baby I've been lying, lying to me, too
I've been lying, lying to you
Baby I've been lying, lying to me, too
I don't always say what I want to say
I tattoo myself to show my pain
Don't lead in a crowded space even though we're both face to face
Cause I've been lying to you
Said I've been lying to me too
Hurry up and wake for the spotlight
Looks like another whisky night
What's inside they never expose
They only see what the camera shows
Cause I've been lying to you
Said I've been lying to me too, noo
I've been lying, lying to you
Baby I've been lying, lying to me, too
I've been lying, lying to you
Baby I've been lying, lying to me, too
It's like the whole world's getting at me
Tryin' to make everyone happy, that ain't me
Walking around, wearing a smile, but deep down I'm really fucked up, this ain't me
I don't wanna quit, tryin' to hang with this
And figure out who the hell I am
I don't mean to make you run away
But I don't wanna forget to be me
The truth is I don't wanna lose you
But I don't wanna lose me too
I've been lying, lying to you
Baby I've been lying, lying to me, too
I've been lying, lying to you
Baby I've been lying, lying to me, too
I've been lying, lying to you
Baby I've been lying, lying to me, too
I've been lying, lying to you
Baby I've been lying, lying to me, too

Rita Sahatçiu Ora, better known as Rita Ora, is an Albanian-British singer-songwriter from London, UK. Born in Prishtina in 1990, Ora's family moved to London where she was raised. According to the Hot Right Now Songfacts, during her early teens Ora attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School, whose other notable alumni include Emma Bunton and Amy Winehouse.
Her first UK exposure came after several collaborations with British singer Craig David. In 2009 Read Full BioRita Sahatçiu Ora, better known as Rita Ora, is an Albanian-British singer-songwriter from London, UK. Born in Prishtina in 1990, Ora's family moved to London where she was raised. According to the Hot Right Now Songfacts, during her early teens Ora attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School, whose other notable alumni include Emma Bunton and Amy Winehouse.
Her first UK exposure came after several collaborations with British singer Craig David. In 2009, she also auditioned for BBC talent competition 'Your Country Needs You' – to select the United Kingdom's entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest – but withdrew her application.
In 2009, she signed a recording contract with Jay-Z's label Roc Nation and relocated to America. The How We Do (Party) Songfacts reports that when Ora visited Clear Channel with Jay-Z to present music and videos from her debut release, the executives were so enthused by what they heard that they organised for How We Do (Party) to be immediately premiered on DJ JJ's afternoon show on New York's top hit music station WHTZ (Z100). Her debut album ORA was released on 26th August, 2012.
In December 2015, Ora filed a lawsuit against Roc Nation, seeking release from the label and citing that the contract she signed in 2008 is "unenforceable", due to California's "seven-year rule." The complaint stated that she's "only been permitted to release one album despite creating multiple additional records for release" and that her relationship with Roc Nation is "irrevocably damaged." Her complaint also pointed out a breach of contract, reporting that Roc Nation breached the recording agreement by improperly taking twenty percent commission of her income. In January 2016, Roc Nation filed a counter-lawsuit against Ora for breaking her recording contract. They reached a settlement in May 2016. In June 2016, it was reported that she signed a new record deal with Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group.
Ora's second studio album, Phoenix, was released in November 2018. The lead single, "Your Song", reached the UK top ten; and the subsequent singles, "Anywhere" and "Let You Love Me", reached the top five in the UK. "Let You Love Me" allowed Ora to become the first British female solo artist to have thirteen top ten songs in the United Kingdom. Phoenix was supported by the "Phoenix World Tour" which began March 1st, 2018 and commenced July 16th, 2019.
In September 2019, Ora revealed she had begun work on her third studio album.
