Lies
The Saturdays Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of line and out of words
Lost for love and lost for air
That is how you leave me here
But no, no longer (no, no longer)
I am getting stronger (getting stronger)
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies
No more listening to no more words
No more second hand tries
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies
I would give the sun for you
Everything I had belonged to you
All my tears and all my joy
That's how much I love you boy
But no, no longer (no, no longer)
I am getting stronger (getting stronger)
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies
No more listening to no more words
No more second hand tries
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies
So now forget about
All I ever promised you
I am getting out
Spin your lying web alone
Spin the wheel of lies on someone new
Someone new
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies (lies)
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies
No more listening to no more words
No more second hand tries
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies (lies)
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies
No more listening to no more words
No more second hand tries
All you ever told me (all you ever told me)
All you ever told me are lies
The lyrics of The Saturdays' song "Lies" tell the story of a woman who has been hurt in a relationship that was built on lies. The woman is battered, sore, and out of words, as she has been hurt so much by the lies that she has lost the ability to express herself. The lies have left her lost and alone, gasping for air. Despite this, the woman finds strength in herself and decides that she will no longer listen to the countless lies that have been told to her.
The lyrics suggest that the woman was deeply in love with the person who has been lying to her. She was willing to give everything to this person, even her own happiness. However, she has now realized that the relationship was built on lies and that all the promises she was given were false. This realization makes her see that the love she had was not real, and that she has to move on and leave the person who has hurt her behind.
Overall, "Lies" is a powerful and empowering song that tells the story of a woman who has been hurt by lies but is now ready to move on and start a new chapter in her life. It emphasizes the importance of self-love and self-care, as well as the strength that can be found in letting go of toxic relationships.
