[Intro – soft, almost whispered]
Yeah…
I might lie…
But not about you.
[Verse 1 – vulnerable, building]
I might lie when I say that I’m eatin’,
Plate full, but my soul stay depleted.
Say “I’m okay,” yeah, I rehearse it so decent,
Smilin’ in public, inside I’m defeated.
“I’m fine,” that’s my favorite disguise,
I mastered the mask, I’m a pro at the lies.
Say “I’m happy,” look dead in your eyes,
While I’m fightin’ a war I don’t verbalize.
I’ll ghost my hunger, I’ll bury my pain,
Laugh at a joke while I’m losin’ my brain,
Say that the sun’s out, stand in the rain,
Tell you I’m solid while circlin’ drain.
Yeah, I might fake it, I might pretend,
Say that I’m good, say I’m cool, say I’m zen—
But there’s a line that I’ll never bend…
[Hook – strong, emotional]
I might lie about “I’m okay,”
Might lie when I say I’m straight—
But I’d never lie when I say
“I’m here for you” — that’s faith.
I might lie when I say I’m fine,
Might fake that smile on my face—
But I’d never lie when I say
“I love you” — that stays.
[Verse 2 – faster, more aggressive flow]
I would never lie about “I got your back,”
That’s engraved in the code I live by, that’s fact.
When I say “I’m here,” I ain’t sayin’ it flat—
I mean I’ll take bullets you never could catch.
“I miss you” ain’t text for attention,
It’s truth with no hidden intention.
“I’ll always be here” ain’t poetic invention,
It’s loyalty carved in extension.
See I’ll cap about calories, cap about sanity,
Cap about how I’m handlin’ gravity—
But never about love, that’s the anatomy
Of everything holdin’ humanity.
You see me break? I rebuild.
You see me bleed? I stand still.
But if I say “I’m ridin’ with you,”
That promise? That’s iron-willed.
[Bridge – quiet, emotional shift]
I might lie so I don’t look weak…
Might lie so nobody sees…
But when I say I care?
That’s the realest part of me.
[Final Hook – bigger, layered]
Yeah I might lie about how I feel,
Might hide what’s underneath—
But I’d never lie when I say
You matter more than me.
“I’m here for you.”
“I love you.”
“I got you always.”
