Lie Like That Again
Chasing Beautiful Lies: Paul Brandt's Mesmerizing Tale of Love's Deception
Lyrics
She said this is forever
She promised everlasting commitment.
No I'm never leavin'
Expressing the commitment to never depart.
A lie like that has never been so true
The falsehood of her statement is ironically truthful because of the emotional impact it has.
'Cause I can't find a way to kick it
He struggles to find a way to move on or break away from the situation.
She's gone and got me addicted
She has captivated him to the point of addiction.
Now there's no way out
There seems to be no escape from the situation.
And it feels so right
The relationship feels right and appropriate.
Just the way it should
It aligns with his expectations.
It may not be true
The truth might not match, but the feeling is positive.
But it sure feels good
Despite the potential falsehood, the situation feels satisfying.
It's gettin' kinda hard to explain
Describing the difficulty in justifying the emotions.
But I'd give anything
Expressing willingness to do anything for that feeling.
If I could hear a lie like that again
Desire to hear a reassuring lie again.
Oh, I'd like to hear a lie like that again
An echo of the longing to experience that comforting lie.
And sometimes people see the signs and ignore them
People often disregard warning signs.
They hear the cold hard facts and find a way to store them
They acknowledge facts but find ways to ignore them.
They put them in a package, wait for Sunday to unwrap them
Compartmentalizing truths for a later time.
Like I'm doin' tonight, I'm doin' tonight
Relating to the speaker's current action of delaying confrontation with reality.
'Cause it feels so right
Similar to line 8, reaffirming the correctness of the situation.
Just the way it should
Reiterating the appropriateness of the emotions involved.
It may not be true
Again, the truth might not align, but the feeling is positive.
But it sure feels good
Emphasizing the satisfaction despite potential falsehood.
It's gettin' kinda hard to explain
Difficulty in explaining the conflicting emotions.
But I'd give anything
Willingness to sacrifice for that feeling.
If I could hear a lie like that again
Longing to hear that comforting lie once more.
Oh, I'd like to hear a lie like that again
A repeated desire for that reassuring falsehood.
Why worry 'bout the truth
Questioning the necessity of focusing on the truth.
Why try to forget her?
Why bother trying to move past or forget her?
When a beautiful lie
Highlighting the allure of an attractive falsehood.
Feels better
The sensation of a lie feeling better than the truth.
'Cause it feels so right
Reaffirmation of the emotional correctness of the situation.
Just the way it should
Consistency in the alignment of emotions.
It may not be true
Despite potential falsehood, the emotional satisfaction remains.
But it sure feels good
Highlighting the struggle in explaining conflicting emotions.
It's gettin' kinda hard to explain
Willingness to sacrifice for the emotional fulfillment.
But I'd give anything
Longing for the return of that comforting lie.
If I could hear a lie like that again
A repeated desire to experience that reassuring falsehood.
Oh, I'd like to hear a lie like that again
Reiteration of the wish to hear that comforting lie once more.
Oh, I'd like to hear a lie like that again
An echo of the longing for the return of that reassuring falsehood.
