JexT - In-between the Lies

🜁 Lyrics — “In-between the Lies”
[Intro – fading dial tone + broken voicemail sample]
“I didn’t mean to hurt you… or maybe I did. I honestly don’t know anymore.”

[Verse 1]
I found your sweater tucked in the sheets
Scent like a secret I wasn’t meant to keep
You say, “It’s not that deep,” when I bring it up
But silence spills where we used to touch

Your words don't match the way you move
Like lip-syncing love in a rented room
You gaslight smiles into my veins
Then ghost me like it’s all the same

[Pre-Chorus – layered harmonics]
And I start second-guessing all the truths
When your eyes don’t blink but cut straight through
You speak in riddles, smile in disguise
I live somewhere in-between the lies

[Chorus – dreamlike, glitchy stutters]
In-between the lies
Where “I love you” don’t feel right
You say enough to keep me tied
But never enough to stay the night
In-between the lies
Where the truth goes out to die
You hold me like a maybe
But leave me like a why

[Verse 2 – muted drums, pulsing sub-bass]
Your late replies, that typing pause
You're online, but you’re not because—
You’re chasing highs I can’t provide
But drag me low when you need a ride

I get the breadcrumbs, never the feast
You break the rules, then call it peace
One foot in, one soul out
I scream, but only whispers shout

[Pre-Chorus – glitch build-up]
I trace the red receipts and sighs
Decode emojis like alibis
You’re here but gone in pixel skies
And I’m stuck in-between the lies

[Chorus – stronger now, more desperate]
In-between the lies
Where love’s just lullabies
You hum the part that sounds divine
Then skip the verse that says goodbye
In-between the lies
Where I replay every fight
You twist the knife with lullaby
And kiss me just to gas the light

[Bridge – slowed tempo, filtered vocals]
Maybe I stayed for the version you sold
A mirage wrapped in someone cold
You wore my love like borrowed skin
Then shed it once the games begin

[Final Chorus – reverb heavy, synths bloom like a collapsing star]
In-between the lies
Where truth is paralyzed
You play sweet just to reset
But I remember what you forget
In-between the lies
I learned to recognize
That love ain’t love if it denies—
So this is me… saying goodbye

[Outro – static heartbeat, fading voicemail glitch:]
“This message has been deleted… but not forgotten.”
