Only Lies

[Verse 1]
Tell me everything
Tell me nothing
You can break my heart
But not in public
Keep your secrets
Off the timeline
If you mess up
Do it offline
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll take the truth
When it’s just us two
But in this room
You better act brand new
[Chorus]
So if you’re gonna hurt me
Hurt me soft
Only lies in front of all my friends (do you understand?)
You can wreck my trust at 2 a.m
But don’t you dare destroy my name again
Tell me I’m your only
Only
Only
Even if you’re lying through your teeth tonight
You can kill me private
That’s alright
But in public
Baby
Only lies
[Verse 2]
You can ghost me
Face to face
Babe
But don’t you fold me
Like a cheap play
Smile and hold me
For the pictures
Keep it perfect
For the whispers
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll take the hit
In a quiet room
But out in front
You better guard my bloom
[Chorus]
So if you’re gonna hurt me
Hurt me soft
Only lies in front of all my friends (keep my crown on straight)
You can wreck my trust at 2 a.m
But don’t you dare destroy my name again
Tell me I’m your only
Only
Only
Even if you’re lying through your teeth tonight
You can kill me private
That’s alright
But in public
Baby
Only lies
[Bridge]
Call it pride
Call it armor (yeah)
Call it me just staying taller than the drama
If I fall apart
Let it be on your shoulder
Not on someone’s camera
Playing on repeat forever
[Chorus]
So if you’re gonna hurt me
Hurt me soft
Only lies in front of all my friends (say you’re still mine)
You can wreck my trust at 2 a.m
But don’t you dare destroy my name again
Tell me I’m your only
Only
Only
Even if you’re lying through your teeth tonight (through your teeth)
You can kill me private
That’s alright
But in public
Baby
Only lies (only lies)

pop, Glossy, sharp-edged pop with female vocals, tight funk guitar chops and a springy bass groove; verses stay nimble and half-whispered over minimal drums, then the chorus slams in with stacked harmonies, crisp claps, and a bright synth lead. Bridge strips to vocal and pads for a confessional moment before the final hook explodes with ad-libs and extra top-line runs., playful
