Lie To Me
Shaylen Lyrics

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Repeating the word 'lie' to emphasize the theme of deception and dishonesty

Wish that I could be a selfish motherfucker like you (yeah)
Expressing a desire to be self-centered and prioritize personal needs like the person being addressed

I give and give, you take and take
Highlighting a one-sided dynamic in the relationship where the singer constantly gives while the other person only takes

So now you have your cake and eat it too
Describing how the other person enjoys the benefits without any consequences or sacrifices

You always say that I'm too much, too much
Referring to the constant criticism of the artist being too overwhelming or demanding

Well, baby, you're just not enough, not enough
Indicating that despite the complaints, the other person falls short in meeting the singer's needs

So I think I gotta learn to be a selfish motherfucker like you
Accepting the need to adopt a self-centered attitude to protect oneself in the relationship

So come on, won't you lie to me, babe, yeah, lie to me, baby
Asking the other person to deceive or give false promises to maintain the illusion of change

Say that you're changing, we both know you ain't
Acknowledging that the other person claims to be changing, but the artist understands it to be insincere

Yeah, you talk, talk, talk, but that's just it
Highlighting the other person's tendency to talk without taking meaningful action

Yeah, you had your chance and you lost that shit
Referring to a missed opportunity for genuine change and demonstrating the consequences of their inaction

You always like me when I'm pretty, pretty with the filter
Addressing the preference for the other person's attraction towards the artist only when they present an idealized version of themselves

I don't really feel like being pretty or to filter
Expressing a desire to be authentic and not conform to unrealistic beauty standards

My thoughts right now, I hope you hear me out
Seeking understanding and hoping the other person listens to the singer's genuine thoughts and feelings

You always get defensive and you start to run your mouth
Describing the other person's tendency to become defensive and engage in argumentative or defensive behavior

Before you say that I'm too much, too much
Anticipating the other person's criticism and asserting that they are not excessive

So I know you're thinking that I'm crazy
Understanding that the other person may perceive the artist as irrational or unreasonable

If you're gonna say it, just stop
Requesting the other person to refrain from making negative judgments or comments

(Yeah, won't you lie, won't you lie)
Reiterating the plea for the other person to continue deceiving or providing false hope

Oh, come on, baby
Expressing a sense of frustration and impatience towards the situation

So come on, won't you lie
Repeating the request for the other person to lie or deceive

Come on, lie, baby
Encouraging the other person to engage in deceitful behavior

(lie, lie, ha)
Adding a playful and sarcastic tone to the phrase, emphasizing the singer's disillusionment
