[Verse 1] You come in late Same old story on your lips I can taste it in your praise Sugar poured on poison trips You say “Baby I was stuck” But your eyes flick to the side Every detail comes out perfect Perfect means you practiced lies [Chorus] Why you always lie? Like breathing in Breathing out Every word a tiny crime Every promise full of doubt Why you always lie? You kiss me then you testify Hands on me like alibis Tell me Tell me Why you always lie [Verse 2] You say trust Like it’s currency you print All that counterfeit compassion Stamped with someone else’s scent I find numbers in your phone Names you swear you’ve never known You flip the blame You bend the frame Till I doubt my own [Chorus] Why you always lie? Like breathing in Breathing out Every word a tiny crime Every promise full of doubt Why you always lie? You kiss me then you testify Hands on me like alibis Tell me Tell me Why you always lie [Bridge] Do you even know the truth? (do you?) Or did you bury it too deep Is there anything that’s you Under all the smoke you keep I could stay and play the fool (oh) Let you rewrite every night But I’m tired of your gospel Built on shifting sides [Chorus] Why you always lie? Like breathing in Breathing out Every word a tiny crime Every promise full of doubt Why you always lie? You kiss me then you testify Hands on me like alibis Tell me Tell me Why you always lie (yeah)
