What Hides a Lie?

[Verse 1] You said: "Trust me..." Coffee gone cold between our hands. Your eyes held steady, Mine kept tracing wedding bands. You laughed too quickly, At a joke that never came. My name on your tongue Sounded slightly out of place. [Chorus] What hides a lie? - Is it the smile? Is it the silence? Is it the way you hold me, Just a little too tight? What hides a lie? - Is it the script you keep repeating Or the word, you never say, When you kiss me goodnight? [Verse 2] Found your jacket: Smelled a perfume, I don't wear. Tiny gold earring Caught, like a secret in the chair. You called me "baby", Then you checked your phone again. Screen face glowing, Like it's waiting to confess. [Chorus] [Bridge] Maybe it's the half-truth, Folded in your suitcase? Maybe it's that long pause, Hanging in the hallway? - If I ask you outright, Would you even meet my eyes, Or build another story, Just to cover , what hides a lie? [Instrumental loss] [Ending]
