Comfort in Lies
Embracing Deception: Finding Comfort Beyond Goodbyes
Lyrics
Staying is hard
Expressing the difficulty of staying.
But goodbye is harder
Highlighting the greater challenge of saying goodbye.
Comfort in lies
Suggesting a sense of solace or ease found in deception.
I don't wanna know where you've been
Expressing a reluctance to know the truth about the partner's whereabouts.
Cause
Introducing a contrast between hiding and facing reality.
It's easier to hide the fact
Pointing out the ease of concealing the fact of not returning home.
You don't come home to me at night
Acknowledging the avoidance of facing the reality of the partner's absence at night.
It's easy not to face the fact
Emphasizing the ease of ignoring the truth about love's absence.
Love don't live here anymore, so
Stating that love is no longer present in the relationship.
Tell me what I wanna hear
Requesting to hear what pleases the speaker.
Please my ear
Emphasizing the desire for comforting words.
Comfort in lies
Reiterating the theme of finding comfort in lies.
Tell me what I wanna hear
Repeating the plea to hear pleasing words.
Please my ear
Emphasizing the desire for words that provide comfort.
Comfort in lies
Reiterating the theme of seeking solace in deception.
You think you got a hold on me yeah
Challenging the notion that the partner has control over the speaker.
But I know what I'm doing, I know
Asserting the speaker's awareness and confidence in their actions.
You think you got me wrapped around your finger
Highlighting the partner's misconception of having control.
But I'm the one that's saving my heart
Affirming that the speaker is safeguarding their own heart.
Sometimes
Introducing the idea that sometimes it's easier to hear lies.
It's easier to hear your lies
Reinforcing the preference for comforting falsehoods over wasted time.
Than sit around and waste my time
Expressing a disdain for investing time in sorrow over the partner.
Crying over a lame ass boy like you, so
Rejecting the idea of crying over the partner.
Tell me what I wanna hear
Reiterating the request for words that please the speaker.
Please my ear
Emphasizing the desire to hear comforting words.
Comfort in lies
Reiterating the theme of finding comfort in lies.
Tell me what I wanna hear
Repeating the plea to hear pleasing words.
Please my ear
Emphasizing the desire for words that provide comfort.
Comfort in lies
Reiterating the theme of seeking solace in deception.
You think you think you're playing me
Challenging the partner's belief in successfully deceiving the speaker.
But I've been playing you
Asserting the speaker's role in manipulating the partner.
Think you got a hold on me
Undermining the partner's perceived control over the speaker.
Baby I got it on you
Stating that the speaker has the upper hand in the relationship.
Baby I got it on you
Reiterating the speaker's dominance in the relationship.
So just
Encouraging the partner to continue the comforting deception.
Tell me what I wanna hear
Reiterating the request for words that please the speaker.
Please my ear
Emphasizing the desire to hear comforting words.
Comfort in lies
Reiterating the theme of finding comfort in lies.
