Lie To Me
Deceptive Desires: Milo Greene's Heartfelt Plea in 'Lie To Me'
Lyrics
Can't hide the truth
Expressing the difficulty of concealing the truth
You're too young
Addressing someone as too young, possibly inexperienced or naive
I made a strong oath, nobody knows
Referring to a secret commitment or promise known only to the speaker
Afraid but I had made the choice
Acknowledging fear but having already made a decision
Our lives inside we entwine
Describing a close connection between their lives
Laid up a bent rule
Having established a flexible or deviated rule
Not capable to stop myself
Admitting inability to control one's actions
And trouble your heart soul out of control
Troubling someone deeply, affecting their heart and soul
And you want what I'll never be
Acknowledging a disparity between what is desired and what the speaker can be
Can't you just lie to me? Just lie to me
Pleading for the other person to lie to them
What you want is beyond my reach
Recognizing that the other person's desires are unattainable
And I'm sorry, could you just lie for me?
Requesting the other person to lie on behalf of the speaker
Two times, two times I won't try
Expressing a reluctance to try again after previous failures
You were a false hope
Describing someone as a false hope, possibly disappointing
You were comfortable
Highlighting the comfort associated with the person mentioned
Time now means to fill the void
Indicating the need to fill a void with time
My mind is starting to lose our time
Noting the deterioration of the speaker's mental state over time
It's not your fault, I wasn't your want
Asserting that the speaker wasn't the desired choice
Who will it take for you
Posing a question about what it takes for the other person to change
To slow your heart soul out of control
Similar to line 8, emphasizing the uncontrollable nature of the heart and soul
And you want what I'll never be
Reiterating the unattainable desires of the other person
Can't you just lie to me? Just lie to me
Repeating the plea for the other person to lie
What you want is beyond my reach
Reiterating the recognition of unattainable desires
And I'm sorry, could you just lie for me?
Repeating the request for the other person to lie on the speaker's behalf
Don't say it, don't say it. Don't say it, don't say it.
Multiple repetitions of a plea for silence, possibly due to the difficulty of hearing the truth
Don't say it, don't say it. Can't you just lie to me?
Asking again for the other person to lie
Don't say it, don't say it [x2]
Repetition of a plea for silence
Don't say it, don't say it (I won't try).
Repeating a refusal to try again
Don't say it, don't say it. Can't you just lie to me? Soul out of control.
Reiterating the request for the other person to lie, emphasizing the uncontrollable soul
And you want what I'll never be
Repeating the recognition of unattainable desires
Can't you just lie to me? Just lie to me?
Reiterating the plea for the other person to lie
What you want is beyond my reach
Repeating the recognition of desires beyond reach
And I'm sorry, could you just lie for me?
Repeating the request for the other person to lie on the speaker's behalf
