Lie
The Gray Lyrics

So won't you lie?
Asking the person to lie to them about their relationship and feelings.

Cuz I've been sleeping on my own lately
Feeling lonely and abandoned.

Cuz I'm afraid of what you told me through the phone, babe
Feeling scared and insecure about what the other person said to them over the phone.

What do you say we go all the way?
Proposing to take their relationship to the next level.

You and me faded so that we stay together
Wanting to get drunk or high together to keep their relationship intact.

Cuz I'm afraid to cry
Being afraid of being vulnerable and showing emotions.

Looking at you like I'm in love with a ghost these days
Feeling disconnected from the other person, as if they are just a memory or a figment of their imagination.

Book a flight cuz you're leaving me on my own these days
Feeling abandoned and wanting the other person to stay with them.

Where are you when I'm needing someone to hold these days?
Feeling alone and wanting physical comfort from the other person.

Rather hang with my social group than your phone these days
Preferring to spend time with friends than constantly checking their phone waiting for the other person to message them.

Maybe I'm wrong
Acknowledging the possibility that their assumptions or suspicions may be incorrect.

But you never sang to one of my songs
Feeling like the other person isn't fully invested in their relationship because they don't show interest or support in their interests or passions.

And you never hang, yeah you're always gone
Feeling like the other person is avoiding them and not making time for their relationship.

Whenever I wake up, I'm on my own
Feeling alone and abandoned when waking up in the morning.

But what can I say? You're not in my zone
Feeling like the other person is not on the same page or wavelength, making it difficult to connect and communicate.

Feel kinda betrayed cuz you didn't say "I love you"
Feeling hurt and confused because the other person hasn't expressed their love for them.

Every day I've been feeling like you don't know me at all
Feeling like the other person doesn't understand or truly know them.

Pushing me to the edge now, hope you're breaking my fall
Feeling like the other person is testing their limits and hoping they will be there to catch them if they fall.

Every day it's the same thing: you've been hiding your face
Feeling like the other person is avoiding face-to-face conversations or hiding something from them.

Pushing me to your friends now; you've been testing my faith
Feeling like the other person is trying to involve their friends in their relationship and testing their trust and loyalty.

And you never cheated; just to be sure
Wondering if the other person has cheated on them but reassuring themselves that they haven't.

Then I'm gonna beat you at your own game
Planning to turn the tables and outsmart the other person.

And I'm gonna meet you when we halfway
Proposing to compromise and meet each other halfway in their relationship.

Through all of the screaming, all of the pain
Acknowledging that their relationship has been tumultuous and painful.

And what did you mean when you didn't say "I love you?"
Questioning the other person's true feelings and intentions.

Please don't leave me on my own
Begging the other person not to abandon them.

Even if you never loved me
Acknowledging the possibility that the other person may not have truly loved them.

Every feeling was a show
Feeling like the other person was faking their emotions or putting on a performance instead of being genuine.

But I need someone to hug me
Expressing their need for physical comfort and affection.

Lately it hasn't been you, cuz if it were you, I would cry; but
Feeling like the other person hasn't been there for them when they needed comfort, and acknowledging that they would cry if it were them.

I just need something to do, or something to clear up my mind, like
Looking for distractions or ways to take their mind off of their problems.

Maybe I'll clean up my room, the photos of you with that smile, damn
Thinking of cleaning and organizing their space, including pictures of the other person that make them feel sad or nostalgic.

Maybe this ain't so bad
Realizing that their situation may not be as bad as they thought.

Won't you lie?
Repeating the plea for the other person to lie to them about their relationship and feelings.

We'll never be alright
Accepting that their relationship may not work out and they may never be able to fully reconcile.
