Boys Lie
Deceptive Promises: Unraveling the Truth in 'Boys Lie'
Lyrics
She said, boys, they can't be trusted,
Expressing a general distrust towards boys.
I get so disgusted
Feeling strong disgust, likely due to boys' untrustworthiness.
She says it over and over
Reiterating the lack of trust in boys.
You stuttered and you hesitated
Describing hesitation and stuttering in communication.
From there it all just escalated
Describing a situation that escalated from hesitation.
It happened over and over
Highlighting a recurring pattern of events.
And she said
Continuing the discussion about boys' trustworthiness.
Boys lie, like the rug under my feet
Comparing boys' lies to something as familiar as a rug.
White lies, every breath between your teeth
Referring to lies as "white lies" and the space between teeth.
Fine line, between love and alibis, boys lie
Pointing out the fine line between love and dishonesty.
He made me this one great promise
Recalling a promise made by a boy.
But call me the doubting Thomas
Expressing doubt, likening oneself to a doubting Thomas.
She thought it over and over
Reflecting on the promise repeatedly.
You'll be mine, you'll be fine
Assuring that the relationship will be enduring.
Oh, for the rest of time
Emphasizing the commitment over time.
He promised over and over
Repeating the promise made by the boy.
There's nothing that a woman does
Asserting the significance of a woman's actions in maintaining faith.
Just keep her faith because.
Encouraging women to keep their faith despite challenges.
There's nothing that a man can say
Suggesting that men's words may not prevent a woman from leaving.
Won't make you walk away
Stating that words alone won't keep a woman in a relationship.
Ain't nothing that he can't undo
Indicating that a man can undo things, possibly referring to mistakes.
A little nudge, and a broken smile
Describing a fragile emotional state with a broken smile.
Just staring back at you
Portraying the intensity of the emotional experience.
When it comes to being trusted
Receiving criticism for a lack of trustworthiness.
She said, you're so busted
Being called out for being untrustworthy.
But now that it's over, it's over
Acknowledging the end of the relationship.
I took a poll and you were graded,
Referring to a negative evaluation of boys through a poll.
Boys were highly overrated
Expressing a low rating for boys, deeming them overrated.
It happens over and over
Highlighting the repetition of negative experiences with boys.
