Lies
Slow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I blocked you on Whatsapp, instructions from you
Said move on with your life and I will move on too
Even came off Facebook and took you off the 'gram
Can't bare to see the pictures of you with another man
Sitting here alone knowing I'm the one to blame
A tuesday night at Nandos on my own's not quite the same
Starting to realise what I've done now
My arms are shaking with the weight now
How can I dry my eyes mate, I'm about to break down
I've made my mistakes and nobody's perfect
That lines a lie though 'cause you were perfect for me
I saw you last weekend out with your friends
But that was not the time or place to make amends
Your new hair really suits you, keep up with the trends
It's a shame just like the hair we finally split and then it ends
I can't rewind the time and the damage has been done
I looks across the room and I see that you've moved on
Ironic I feel how it feels now
My arms are shaking with the weight now
How can I dry my eyes mate I'm about to break down
I've made my mistakes and nobody's perfect
That lines a lie though 'cause you were perfect for me
My arms are shaking with the weight now
How can I dry my eyes mate I'm about to break down




I've made my mistakes and nobody's perfect
That lines a lie though 'cause you were perfect for me

[Intro]
Oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I know it wasn't much to ya
But you dressed it up so pretty, didn't you?
Who wouldn't get caught up and lately I'm seein' right through ya
By the way, I moved to the city, you're too busy bein' tied up with

[Pre-Chorus]
Other things, everything's different here
Wonderin' where you been, you disappeared
I guess I'll see you around
I'm sure I'll see you around

[Chorus]
Such a slow lie
Bet your life
That everything will stay the same
Swear it's the ones who said that they'll never change
Slow lie
Bet your life
That everything will stay the same
Swear it's the ones who said that they'll never change

[Verse 2]
Was it too much for ya to have said goodbye
Or apologize? It's kinda messed up that even after all I told ya
You won't look in my eyes (My eyes, my eyes)
I probably should be caught up with

[Pre-Chorus]
Other things, everything's different here
Wonderin' where you been, you disappeared
I guess I'll see you around
I'll see you around

[Chorus]
Such a slow lie
Bet your life
That everything will stay the same
Swear it's the ones who said that they'll never change
Slow lie
Bet your life
That everything will stay the same
Swear it's the ones who said that they'll never change

[Outro]
Don't you go lose yourself and build a glasshouse
On the wrong things, on the wrong things
Don't you go dull your mind by gettin' too high
Off a big name, off a big name
Don't you go lose yourself and build a glasshouse
On the wrong things, on the wrong things
I can picture you still on the hill
It's always the ones who said that they'll never change
