I Can't Lie
Truth Unveiled: The Heart's Confession in 'I Can't Lie'
Lyrics
You asked my how I'm doing
You inquired about my well-being
How I've been since you were gone
Asking about my status since your departure
I'm supposed to say I'm happy
I'm expected to claim happiness
That I'm fine and I've moved on
To assert that I'm okay and have moved on
But when I was young
Reflecting on the past when I was young
My mama told me
Recalling advice from my mother
"Son always tell the truth"
Mother advised honesty
I guess that's why
Implying a connection to honesty
I can't lie
Expressing an inability to lie
I can't even lie to you
Reiterating difficulty in deceiving you
I can't eat, I can't sleep
Describing physical and emotional struggles
I can barely find the will to breathe
Highlighting difficulty in basic functions
I can't run, I can't hide
Unable to escape or avoid
I can't lie
Reiterating the inability to lie
You left without a warning
Expressing sudden departure without notice
Without a smile or a kiss
Leaving without joy or affection
And all I got was a broken heart
Receiving emotional pain and unused wedding gifts
And these unopened wedding gifts
Symbolizing unfulfilled promises
Baby you know I always loved you
Affirming love despite past unfaithfulness
Even when you were untrue
Stating the reason for inability to lie
I guess that's why
I can't lie
Reiterating the incapacity to lie, especially to the person
I can't even lie to you
Emphasizing the inability to deceive you
I can't eat, I can't sleep
Repeating the physical and emotional challenges
I can barely find the will to breathe
Struggling to find the motivation to breathe
I can't run, I can't hide
Unable to escape or evade
I can't lie
Reiterating the impossibility of lying
