[Intro — soft piano, vinyl crackle]
[Akari hums softly]
Mm-mm…
[Spoken, amused]
Go on.
I’m listening.
[Soft bass enters]
[Verse 1 — smooth, intimate vocals]
Look me in the eyes when you tell me that story
Take your time, make every detail pretty
You rehearse your lines like you’re up on a stage
But your hands give away what your lips never say
Pour another lie in a crystal glass
Dress it up nice, put a ribbon on that
You almost make fiction sound so divine
Go ahead, darling, I’m giving you time
[Pre-Chorus — jazzy vocals]
Maybe add a little heartbreak
Maybe say you lost your way
Make yourself the hero
That’s your favorite role to play
I know how it ends
But please don’t stop…
[Music drops to piano]
I’m enjoying the plot.
[Chorus — smooth dark R&B]
Pretty little liar
Tell it one more time
I wanna hear how pretty
You can make a lie
Pretty little liar
Look me in the eyes
Paint it gold and call it truth
I still know what’s underneath
Pretty little liar…
Keep talking tonight.
[Verse 2 — sultry rhythmic vocals]
Funny how your story changes with the wine
First it was a minute, now you needed time
Every little detail slipping out of place
Truth is getting restless underneath your poker face
No need to panic
No need to run
I’m not even angry
This is kinda fun
You built the whole illusion
Now finish your design
Don’t ruin the performance—
[Whisper]
You’re doing just fine.
[Rap — smooth, controlled]
Silk tongue, clean suit, practiced alibi
Pretty presentation doesn’t beautify a lie
Cross every T, better dot every I
You forgot one thing—
I was there that night.
[Beat stops]
[Silence]
Oops.
[Soft piano returns]
[Bridge — Darija, soft delicate vocals]
Mn 3inik, ana 3arfa l-haqiqa
Kdeb zwin, walakin ma kaydoumsh
L-haqiqa sakta, walakin katban
Ma bqa fin tkhbi… ana 3arfa kolshi
[Pre-Chorus — whispered]
One more story…
One more try…
Show me how beautiful
You can make a lie.
[Final Chorus — layered vocals]
Pretty little liar
Tell it one more time
I wanna hear how pretty
You can make a lie
Pretty little liar
Look me in the eyes
You can dress it up in diamonds
Truth still shines brighter tonight
Pretty little liar…
[Music slows]
[Outro — piano only]
[Spoken]
That was beautiful.
[Pause]
Almost believed you.
[Small laugh]
Almost.
[Piano note]
[End]
