INTRO — Whispered (deep bass pulse, filtered kick, breathy vocal fragments) You said forever… I knew you were lying. (beat enters) But I liked the way you said it. --- VERSE 1 You walk in like you own the night, Neon dancing in your eyes. Every word comes dressed in gold, Every secret never gets told. You lean in close, I know that game, Say my name like you feel the same. But there's a shadow behind that smile, And I've been watching it for a while. --- PRE-CHORUS You don't have to tell me What I want to hear. I already know Why you're standing here. --- CHORUS Lips and lies, Sweet little alibis. You tell me heaven While you're hiding the knife. Lips and lies, Dancing underneath the lights. I know you're trouble, But you look so good tonight. --- POST-CHORUS — VOCAL CHOPS Lips… li-li-lips… Lies… li—lies… Lips and lies… --- VERSE 2 Two shadows moving through the crowd, Music getting way too loud. You say you're different, say you're true, Funny how I've heard that one from you. Your hands say one thing, Your eyes say two. Your mouth says “stay” While your feet say “move.” I should walk away. I know I should. But you're standing there smiling… Like you know I won't. --- PRE-CHORUS 2 You don't have to promise What you can't defend. Some beautiful beginnings Were designed to end. --- CHORUS Lips and lies, Sweet little alibis. You tell me heaven While you're hiding the knife. Lips and lies, Dancing underneath the lights. I know you're trouble, But you look so good tonight. --- BREAKDOWN — WHISPERED (beat disappears; sub pulse remains) Tell me again… Tell me I'm the only one. (pause) Go on. Lie to me. --- VOCAL INTERLUDE only one… one… one… Lips… closer… Lies… closer… Lips and lies… --- VERSE 3 — RHYTHMIC No receipts, no evidence, Just perfume and coincidence. Every story beautifully rehearsed, But somehow the last one always sounds worse. You're a perfect contradiction, Sweet addiction, bad decision. I know exactly what you are— And somehow that's the best part. --- FINAL BUILD (kick returns, synth rises) Say it again… Tell me what I want to hear. Say it again… Make the lie sound sincere. --- FINAL CHORUS LIPS AND LIES, SWEET LITTLE ALIBIS. YOU TELL ME HEAVEN WHILE YOU'RE HIDING THE KNIFE. LIPS AND LIES, DANCING UNDERNEATH THE LIGHTS. I KNOW YOU'RE TROUBLE— BUT YOU LOOK SO GOOD TONIGHT. --- FINAL DROP Lips! Lips! Lies! Lies! LIPS AND LIES! (bass hits) You know I know. You know I know. And I still want more. --- OUTRO (beat fades, whispered vocal) Some lies… Are better when they're beautiful. Lips and lies…
