Verse 1
Runnin’ your mouth but I can’t hear a word
Smoke in the air every time that you turn
Talkin’ like I’m wrong when you didn’t learn
You touch like a flame, then you leave me burned
I read every look like a warning sign
Still I let you in like a thousand times
You blur every truth when you cross that line
Now I can’t tell what’s yours and what’s mine
Pre-Chorus
You pull me close just to push away
Say my name, then you change your face
I keep holdin’ on to the aftertaste
Of somethin’ real, or a sweet mistake
Chorus
Maybe if I tried
Maybe if I cried
Would I see love or would I see lies?
Maybe if I stayed
Maybe one more night
Would I see love or would I see lies?
Tell me what you hide
Look me in the eyes
Would I see love or would I see lies? (Lies)
Would I see love or would I see lies?
Verse 2
Kisses that taste like a bittersweet truth
You say that it’s me, then I say it’s you
We keep buildin’ up what we’re bound to lose
Dancin’ in the dark with nothin’ to prove
Every little promise started feelin’ thin
Every time I left, you would pull me in
Now I’m in too deep with the state I’m in
Tryna find the light through your shadowed skin
Pre-Chorus
You pull me close just to push away
Leave a scar where your hands once laid
I keep tellin’ myself that the pain might change
But it comes back cold every time you stay
Chorus
Maybe if I tried
Maybe if I cried
Would I see love or would I see lies?
Maybe if I stayed
Maybe one more night
Would I see love or would I see lies?
Tell me what you hide
Look me in the eyes
Would I see love or would I see lies? (Lies)
Would I see love or would I see lies?
Bridge
You got heaven in your touch
Hell in your tone
Make me feel wanted
Then leave me alone
I’m losin’ the line
Between hurt and hope
Is this really love
Or just something toxic?
Outro
Maybe if I tried
Maybe if I cried
Maybe I’d know why I’m still caught inside
Maybe if I ran
Maybe I’d survive
But I still see love when I know it’s lies (lies)
Would I see love or would I see lies? (Oh baby)
Would I see love or would I see lies?
