If a Lie Was Love
Tiësto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If a lie as love
Tell me what you'd do
If the people that you knew
Seemed different to you

If a lie was love
All of us would change
Lives would re-arrange
It's really not so strange

What did lies ever do to you, my friend?
They're the keepers of truth
They'll be with you till the bitter end

If a lie was love
Worlds would just collide
Nothing could survive
No matter how we tried

If a lie was love
Love would be a lie
In the blinking of an eye
A rift in space and time

What did lies ever do to you, my friend?
They're the keepers of truth
The right lie can seal your fate
That's all it takes

The right lie can seal your fate
That's all it takes

If a lie was love
If a lie was love




If a lie was love
Be careful what you say

The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that if lies were love, the world would be turned upside down as nothing could survive the realization of such a deception. The bridge connects the idea that lies are the keepers of truth with the potential for lies to seal one's fate. The final lines of the song "If a lie was love, be careful what you say" highlight the power of words and the importance of truth.
