The Lie
by Tori Kelly

Album: Inspired by True Events
by Tori Kelly

Intro
Mmm, yeah

Verse 1
I need some closure
Feel like the chip fell off my shoulder
Over exposure
Open my wounds and make me close up
I got everything that I thought I'd like
Simple memories, we were stained like wine
It's pouring over
Coursing my veins, leaving me sober

Pre-Chorus
But they told me, the more the better
Guess the joke's on me, same old song, I cry

Chorus
Lie, lie, lie
Mmm (Uh)
Lie, lie, lie
They lie, lie, lie
Mmm (Uh)
Lie, lie, lie

Verse 2
I hate rollercoasters
Them ups and downs get me no closer
Played my role and did what I'm supposed to
They say, "She's heating up," but I feel colder
Mmm, pour the gasoline, set my dreams on fire
Smoking on my mist 'til it burns my eyes
I'm moving blind now
An empty heart is not a hideout

Pre-Chorus
Oh, they told me, the more the better
Guess the joke's on me
Same old song, I cry

Chorus
Lie, lie, lie
Mmm
Lie, lie, lie
Don't believe the lie, lie, lie
Mmm
Lie, lie, lie

Outro
Oh, ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh, hey
Ah, ooh, ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh, hey
Mmm, mmm
Mmm
