Your Love Is a Lie
Simple Plan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fall asleep by the telephone
It's two o'clock and I'm waiting up alone
Tell me, where have you been?
I found a note with another name
You blow a kiss
But it just don't feel the same
Cause I can feel that you're gone
Can't bite my tongue forever
While you try to play it cool
You can hide behind your stories
But don't take me for a fool

You can tell me there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes
And pretend all you want
But I know
I know your love is just a lie
It's nothing but a lie

You look so innocent
But the guilt in your voice gives you away
Yeah, you know what I mean
How does it feel when you kiss
When you know that I trust you?
And do you think about me when he fucks you?
And could you be more obscene?

So don't try to say you're sorry
Or try to make it right
And don't waste your breath
Because it's too late, it's too late

You can tell me there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes
And pretend all you want
But I know
I know your love is just a lie, lie
It's nothing but a lie, lie
You're nothing but a lie

You can tell me there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes
And pretend all you want
But I know
(I know)
I know your love is just a lie
(I know)
I know you're nothing but a lie, lie




You're nothing but a lie, lie
Your love is just a lie

Your supposed love for me was never genuine

Why are we all trying to fit in and be again and again part of this insanely fallen world?
Why not listen OUR MAKER and come and keep being fully out from BABYLON which is this soon to be fully digital world?.
Bible verses related to Not Fitting In from the King James Version
John 15:19 - If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

2 Timothy 3:12 - Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

1 Peter 2:19-21 - For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.   (Read More...)

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

2 Corinthians 6:14 - Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 - Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,   (Read More...)

Genesis 1:26-27 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.   (Read More...)

2 Thessalonians 2:3 - Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Hebrews 10:25 - Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.


Believing not the lies of this world nor taking part from it`s affairs (stop voting for good, stop protesting, leave 9 -5 jobs, schools, throwing out the TVs from the households to keep themselves far from consuming this worlds entertainments).

Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.



Many souls, quick to call themselves “christians” but are not busy being one In reality also:
GOD expect the souls who follow His son, CHRIST JESUS to do the WILL OF HIS HEAVENLY FATHER:
- keep the 10 commandments (including a resting in every 7th day of the week),
- preach the gospel to all creatures (a job for the male side of human population as we read that females: 1 Timothy 2:12
- watch the signs which GOD shall send,
- expose the evil doers (the masons and their master)

Why many don´t bother to seek out what Christianity is truly about?
