Was It Lies

[Intro]
Yeah
Late nights
Just me and these questions
Listen
[Verse 1]
You said, "I'm here forever"
Then you vanished in a weekend
You were laughin’ in my face
But you were talkin’ to my weak friends
Told me I was different
Guess you tell that to the next guy
All that "you’re my only"
Was that scripted from the same lie?
Scrollin’ through the pictures
See your hand on me, you glowin’
Now I’m lookin’ back like
Was you actin’ or you didn’t even know it?
Every "baby, trust me"
Every "I could never hurt you"
Did you mean a single word
Or you rehearsed it?
[Chorus]
Was it lies?
Every "I love you" in my ear at night
Was it lies?
All those "I’m fine" fights you let slide
Tell me, how you really feel inside?
Do you hate me?
Do you love me?
Or you just like watchin’ me cry?
Was it lies?
All those tears you dropped when you said goodbye
Was it lies?
Or did you ever really even try?
Tell me, how you really feel inside?
Do you hate me?
Do you love me?
Or you just bored with my life?
[Verse 2]
You said, "Text me when you land"
I hit send, you left it hangin’
Now that airport hallway echo
Sound like everything you’re sayin’
"You the only one I talk to"
Funny how the stories changed up
Now I hear about a new dude
Same lines that you gave us
You were prayin’ with my mama
Sayin’, "I’ma keep your son safe"
Now I’m prayin’ I ain’t stupid
For believin’ what your tongue say
Every "I’ve been busy"
Was that code word for you creepin’?
Or did I push you to the edge
And you just jumped to stop the bleedin’? (yeah)
[Chorus]
Was it lies?
Every "I love you" in my ear at night
Was it lies?
All those "I’m fine" fights you let slide
Tell me, how you really feel inside?
Do you hate me?
Do you love me?
Or you just like watchin’ me cry?
Was it lies?
All those tears you dropped when you said goodbye
Was it lies?
Or did you ever really even try?
Tell me, how you really feel inside?
Do you hate me?
Do you love me?
Or you just bored with my life?
[Bridge]
Do you ever miss me
Or you only miss control?
Do you ever see my name
And feel a pull inside your soul?
If I pulled up to your block
Would you run or would you stay?
Was you real for just a second
Or you lyin’ every day? (every day)
[Chorus]
Was it lies?
Every "I love you" in my ear at night
Was it lies?
All those "I’m fine" fights you let slide
Tell me, how you really feel inside?
Do you hate me?
Do you love me?
Or you just like watchin’ me cry?
Was it lies?
All those tears you dropped when you said goodbye
Was it lies?
Or did you ever really even try?
Tell me, how you really feel inside?
Do you hate me?
Do you love me?
Or you just hate seein’ me rise?

rap, Early-2000s rap-trap hybrid, male vocals; melancholy piano loop over snappy drums and deep sub-bass, halftime swing. Verses intimate and confessional with close-mic vocal, sparse ad-libs; hook explodes with layered melodic chant, octave doubles, and airy pads. Second half brings in subtle string stabs and pitched vocal chops to raise the stakes and tension.
