[Verse 1] How you gonna lie? Taking advantage of kindness Taking it as weakness You smiled in my face While you twisted the facts Had the nerve to act clean When the floor fell through You got caught And you hated that truth So you changed the script Just to save your pride Made me carry the blame Like I was the stain Like I was the one Who broke what you made [Pre-Chorus] Don’t flip it on me Don’t paint me dark You pulled the blade Then played the part You ran to the crowd With your pretty excuse But the real ones saw What you tried to do [Chorus] How you gonna lie? How you gonna lie? (how you gonna lie?) Make me look like the monster After all we did for you How you gonna lie? How you gonna lie? (how you gonna lie?) You got caught, now you’re hiding Acting like the victim too [Verse 2] We gave you space We gave you grace We gave you time And a place to stay You took each gift And called it owed Then turned around And sold that soul And when it cracked You started pointing At every hand That helped you stand You’d rather burn Than say you fell So you dressed up shame And called it well [Pre-Chorus] Don’t flip it on me Don’t paint me dark You pulled the blade Then played the part You ran to the crowd With your pretty excuse But the real ones saw What you tried to do [Chorus] How you gonna lie? How you gonna lie? (how you gonna lie?) Make me look like the monster After all we did for you How you gonna lie? How you gonna lie? (how you gonna lie?) You got caught, now you’re hiding Acting like the victim too [Bridge] Say it straight Say you needed out Say you chose yourself When the truth got loud I won’t wear your shame I won’t hold your mask What you broke in the dark Comes back fast [Final Chorus] How you gonna lie? How you gonna lie? (how you gonna lie?) Make me look like the monster After all we did for you How you gonna lie? How you gonna lie? (how you gonna lie?) You got caught, now you’re hiding Acting like the victim too How you gonna lie? (how you gonna lie?) How you gonna lie? (how you gonna lie?)
