[Verse 1] A lie leaves marks Like mud on white shoes You step through one door Then you need three more You learn to glance back You learn to cover tracks And every little fix Turns into bigger cracks [Pre-Chorus] One lie needs a friend Then ten more to defend You spend your whole night Keeping shadows in line [Chorus] Don’t lie, don’t lie It multiplies Don’t lie, don’t lie It eats your life One small lie Turns hard to hide Don’t lie, don’t lie It breaks trust wide [Verse 2] A lie makes dinner cold Makes easy talk feel hard Makes love sit there Like a parked car It puts sweat on your palms It puts weight in your chest You can fake a smile But your face knows best [Pre-Chorus] One lie needs a friend Then ten more to defend You spend your whole night Keeping shadows in line [Chorus] Don’t lie, don’t lie It multiplies Don’t lie, don’t lie It eats your life One small lie Turns hard to hide Don’t lie, don’t lie It breaks trust wide [Bridge] Truth can be plain Truth can sting But it leaves your hands Free to ring No borrowed story No crooked chain Just one clear voice And your real name [Chorus] Don’t lie, don’t lie It multiplies Don’t lie, don’t lie It eats your life One small lie Turns hard to hide Don’t lie, don’t lie It breaks trust wide
