Verse 1
He says he’s busy — every time
You nod your head, but you’re reading the signs
You dress up just to sit alone
Waiting for a text that won’t come
You say you’re fine — cute little lie
But your eyes don’t know how to hide
When he disappears into the night
Guess who you think of?
⸻
Pre-Chorus (heartbeat building)
You freeze when I step too close
Your breath changes — yeah, I notice
You don’t look scared
You look exposed.
⸻
Chorus (pulsing, confident)
Don’t lie.
You feel it when I’m near.
Your pulse betrays you, crystal clear.
Don’t lie.
Your body shifts toward mine.
You call him yours —
but your tension’s mine.
You don’t want safe.
You don’t want sweet.
You want adrenaline under your skin — with me.
⸻
Verse 2
He left you standing in that bar
Talking loud, playing superstar
You checked your phone like you didn’t care
But you were hoping I’d be there.
You hate how I can read you fast
See through every loyal mask
You say “stop” — but you don’t step back.
That’s not resistance.
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2 (closer, darker)
You swallow hard when I say your name
Like being seen feels dangerous
But if he’s everything
Why are you shaking?
⸻
Chorus
Don’t lie.
You feel it when I’m near.
Your heartbeat syncing into fear.
Don’t lie.
Your fingers graze my hand.
You call him home —
but you barely stand.
You don’t want calm.
You don’t want him.
You want the chaos pulling you in.
⸻
Bridge (low, sarcastic, dangerous)
Tell me again you’re happy.
Go on.
Say you don’t replay
the way I looked at you.
Say you don’t wonder
what would happen
if I stopped being patient.
⸻
Final Chorus (slightly faster, dominant)
Don’t lie.
You’re already halfway gone.
You look at me like he’s done.
Don’t lie.
I don’t have to compete.
You don’t come to me for comfort —
You come for heat.
