Lying To Yourself
Deceptive Reflections: Unraveling Lily Moore's 'Lying To Yourself'
Lyrics
I know you been hiding lately
The person has noticed your recent absence or withdrawal.
But you were doing so well
Despite your previous progress, there's a change in your behavior.
You been acting a little shady
You've been acting suspiciously.
Did you think I couldn't tell?
The person is aware of your deceptive behavior.
I see past your baby blues
The person sees through your attempts to hide your true feelings or intentions.
Everyone's at it, check the news
Others are also engaged in similar deceptive behavior.
Man, are you dumb or just confused
Questioning if you lack intelligence or clarity in your actions.
To do those things you do?
Wondering why you continue your deceitful actions.
Lying to yourself lying to yourself
You're deceiving yourself, repeatedly engaging in falsehoods.
You keep lying, lying to yourself
-But don't lie to me
Despite your self-deception, the person doesn't want to be misled.
Maybe in a different time, we'd be friends
In a different circumstance, a friendship might have been possible.
Learn to cut the ties and mend
Encouraging you to sever connections and repair things.
But when all your promises are pretend
Your false assurances make it challenging to trust or love again.
Makes it hard to love again
Your deceit makes it difficult to open up emotionally.
Lying to yourself lying to yourself
Repeatedly emphasizing your self-deception.
You keep lying, lying to yourself
-But don't lie to me
Requesting honesty from you towards the person.
'Cause when you talk
Noticing your avoidance of direct eye contact while communicating.
You don't look me in the eye
Your actions indicate detachment and insincerity towards the person.
When you walk, you ain't walking by my side
-When you speak, you're not speaking to me
-Just somebody else, who you try'na please?
-'Cause when you talk
Reiterating your avoidance and disconnection.
You don't look me in the eye
-When you walk, you ain't walking by my side
Observing your lack of solidarity or support in situations.
And I know what you're doing, I ain't stupid
Asserting awareness of your deceptive behavior, not being fooled.
Who you fooling when you keep on
Questioning who benefits from your continued deceit.
Lying to yourself lying to yourself
Repeatedly urging honesty towards the person.
You keep lying, lying to yourself
-Well don't lie to me don't lie to me
-You keep lying, lying to yourself
-But don't lie to me
Stressing the importance of truthfulness in your interactions.
