Four Letter Lie
Four Letter Lie: A Heartbreak's Bitter Truth
Lyrics
Take this pain away from me
Expressing a desire for relief from emotional pain
Cos I can't take it anymore
Feeling overwhelmed by the pain, unable to endure it further
All these years have passed
Reflecting on the passage of time
And you're still standing at the door
Someone significant remains present despite time passing
I don't know just what to do
Feeling uncertain about how to handle the situation
Sometimes it's too hard for me
Expressing the difficulty faced
But I know it's hard for you
Acknowledging the difficulty the other person is experiencing
So for what it's worth
Recognizing the situation's value or significance
The ups and downs and all these lies
Acknowledging the fluctuations in the relationship and the presence of deception
And it's times like this
Realizing the crucial need for the other person at a specific time
I needed you the most
Expressing a personal need for the other person's support or presence
And I don't know why
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding about the situation
I don't know why I try
Questioning the purpose or effectiveness of efforts made
Baby, all you are is a four letter lie
Reducing the other person's significance to a deceptive or insincere entity
On the day you went away
Recalling the emotional impact of the other person's departure
How you broke my heart in two
Describing the emotional pain caused by the departure
I still see this snow falling
Recollection of a specific time frame and setting associated with memories
And this January moon
Evoking a specific atmospheric setting tied to memories
But those days have come and gone
Realization of personal growth or improvement after the departure
And I'm better off alone
Believing it's better to be alone than with the previously mentioned person
Than I was with you
Comparing the current state favorably to the past
So for what it's worth
Reiteration of the recognition of the situation's value or significance
The ups and downs and all these lies
Acknowledging the fluctuations in the relationship and the presence of deception (repeated)
And it's times like this
Realizing the crucial need for the other person at a specific time (repeated)
I needed you the most
Expressing a personal need for the other person's support or presence (repeated)
And I don't know why
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding about the situation (repeated)
I don't know why I try
Questioning the purpose or effectiveness of efforts made (repeated)
Baby, all you are is a four letter lie
Reducing the other person's significance to a deceptive or insincere entity (repeated)
Baby, when you walk away
Expressing a desire for communication or closure when the other person leaves
I just wanna hear you say
Desiring a final acknowledgment of effort from the departing person
That you gave it everything
Wanting reassurance that the departing person put in maximum effort
Now hear me as I sing these words for you
Expressing feelings through music directed towards the departing person
So for what it's worth
Reiteration of the recognition of the situation's value or significance (repeated)
The ups and downs and all these lies
Acknowledging the fluctuations in the relationship and the presence of deception (repeated)
And it's times like this
Realizing the difficulty in understanding the reason for effort (repeated)
I don't know why I try
Questioning the purpose or effectiveness of efforts made (repeated)
Baby, all you are is a four letter lie
Reducing the other person's significance to a deceptive or insincere entity (repeated)
You're a four letter lie
Final repetition, defining the other person as a deceptive entity
