A Lie
skaiwater Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wind me up, let me down
I feel you need me in town
I can′t keep you one side up
You turn the world upside down
Don't have to spend a dime on you
Cause I know you don′t need it
I wanna put my time in you
I just hope that you see it
You see it

I never say goodbye
Cause that would be a lie that I don't believe
But one thing I adore is
You can spoil me with loyalty
I know it might sound lame
But it don't feel the same when they stare at me
So leave the boy you have and I′ll show you your path
Come lay with me

I never say goodbye
Cause that would be a lie that I don′t believe
But one thing I adore is
You can spoil me with loyalty
I know it might sound lame
But it don't feel the same when they stare at me




So leave the boy you have and I′ll show you your path
Come lay with me

Line by Line Meaning

You wind me up, let me down
You control me like a toy, but also disappoint me


I feel you need me in town
I sense that you desire my presence near you


I can′t keep you one side up
I can't keep you from causing chaos in my life


You turn the world upside down
You disrupt my life in profound ways


Don't have to spend a dime on you
I don't have to invest anything in you


Cause I know you don't need it
Because I understand that you are self-sufficient


I wanna put my time in you
I want to dedicate my time to you


I just hope that you see it
I hope that you recognize and appreciate my efforts


I never say goodbye
I refuse to say farewell


Cause that would be a lie that I don't believe
Because I don't believe in pretending that I'm leaving when I'm not


But one thing I adore is
But one thing I admire greatly is


You can spoil me with loyalty
You can show me unwavering, faithful devotion


I know it might sound lame
I realize this may not sound impressive


But it don't feel the same when they stare at me
But it doesn't feel as genuine when others express interest in me


So leave the boy you have and I'll show you your path
So abandon your current partner and I will lead you to enlightenment


Come lay with me
Come be intimate with me
